Losing Control Of Muscle, Dropping Objects. Allergic To Bug Bites. Reason?

My daughter recently had three distinct episodes where she lost control of her muscles. Twice it was almost dropping a cup and once almost fell down. She knows it happens, but just after it happens. It's never been more than a second or so. There are no other noticeable symptoms. No fever, no headache, etc. she does have an allergic reaction to bug bites, and we see a few of those, but typically it is just swelling around the bite.

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi,

Thanks for writing to health care magic.
I can understand your concern.

If your daughter continues to have symptoms you should get her examined by a paediatrician. Does she have any other problems like emotional instability etc? A neurological examination is definitely indicated. ASO titer, throat swab, etc may be required.

Continue to ask further queries as required.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
