Q. My 10-year-old daughter has two problems. Firstly, for the last six months she has been finding it difficult to get to sleep. She feels very hot, even though the window is open and she only has a sheet covering. She has eczema but this is well managed, most of the time with moisturisers and steroid creams. Often it’s midnight before she gets to sleep. Secondly, she has always had very fine hair (even the shaft is very thin) but for the last year or so it is also falling out. Routine bloods were normal (ferritin was 31, so she has taken Floradix 10mls twice a day, but this hasn’t made any difference). I would be grateful for any suggestions.
