Eight year old girl screaming while sleeping. Thinks somebody going to attack her.?

She had fever next day while sleeping she started screaming that her mom is killing her and her friends. next day she tells dogs are in the house and she is scared to sleep alone now. Has no history like this before.usually mumbles in her sleep. What to do , should a doctor be consulted . serious answers please.

Answer:
Fever can bring on strange dreams. I wouldn't do anything yet. She may have watched a scary movie recently. If the dreams continue, then I would take more action. Good luck
Yes you should consult a doctor asap it sounds like some serious night terrors
they could be night terrors. My bro in law had those! Very scary! I woudl talk to a doctor!
shes being molested by someone around you
Has she been taking any new medicine? My son had hallucinations simular to that on a cough medicine the doctor had prescribed. I'd take her to the doctor and get her checked out.

yes we tossed the medicine!
Yes, I would make an app, asap for her. That don't sound right. I would take her to the doc asap.
absolutely take her to a doctor. She may have an illness that causes her to run a fever & possbly hallucinate. She may also experience night terrors. There could be a number of reasons why she is doing this, Please take her to dr.
Biker listen

An appointment has to be made with GP in order to assess this matter further. This appears to be delicate and as such professional advice ought to be sought.

yes, a Doctor should be brought in. The Child has something bothering her and the cause should be found out.
well those are the night terrors i had those when i was a kid it wasnt easy! so call a doctor or cope with her sleep in the same room but in a diff. bed
Um, yeah I'd take her to a medical dr, have them check her for night terrors. If they rule that out, your next best bet should be to take her to a therapist. As scary as that sounds, there may be an underlying issue to the bad dreams. ie certain abuses or whatnot.
I don't know what this means. Take her for help and FAST!

See a doctor, psychiatrist anyone. This could all mean nothing, or it could mean she is being abused, dreams work funny, it doesn't mean that the mom is doing it, it could be anything. Your job as a parent is to rule that idea out. Then go forward from there.
could also be a mental disorder, i would consult a doctor immediately to rule out any physical possibilities, then consult a psychiatrist
