Answer |
Are the tremors present in sleep? Is the examination suggestive of extrapyramidal involvement or cerebellar involvement. Rule out drug induced problems. Also a viral encephalitis. If it persists, one may need to get an EEG and also rule out Wilson's disease, chorea and parkinson's disease.
