Question
What is the situation with my child’s leg and arm twitching during sleep?
Answer
Leg and arm twitching during sleep in children may be one of the early symptoms of calcium deficiency. Calcium deficiency primarily manifests as psychiatric symptoms, such as irritability, ignorance, crying, and temper tantrums. Additionally, symptoms like insomnia, night terrors, early awakening, and excessive sweating may also occur. If the child only sweats without other symptoms, it cannot be diagnosed as calcium deficiency. Therefore, it is recommended to consult a pediatrician for a detailed examination and assessment.
