Question

Why do infants experience facial tics?

Answer

  1. Fatigue: When the body feels tired, the normal function of muscles is affected, leading to lactic acid accumulation, which can then stimulate muscle spasms.
  2. Electrolyte Imbalance: Excessive sweating after intense exercise, especially in hot weather, can cause excessive electrolyte loss, which may lead to muscle over-excitability and trigger cramps.
  3. Cold Stimulus: In cold environments, such as sudden contact with cold water, if proper warming up is not done, muscles may contract due to cold stimulation, causing cramps. Additionally, high fever, epilepsy, tetanus, rabies, and calcium deficiency can also trigger cramps.
