Question
Male, 1 year old. Recently, I’ve noticed that my child has been experiencing sudden twitching while sleeping. The family is very worried. Why do children have convulsive symptoms?
Answer
The possible causes of a child’s twitching may include epilepsy, high fever seizures, calcium deficiency, low magnesium levels, tetanus, or rabies. It is recommended to place the patient in a safe location when twitching recurs, loosen the patient’s collar, and do not gently press on the patient’s limbs. There are many treatment methods for diseases, but since the condition of the patient varies, the medical treatment methods adopted for different situations also differ. Therefore, it is suggested that patients go to a professional hospital for detailed testing as soon as possible to receive appropriate treatment.
