Question
My child frequently experiences body shaking in certain parts during deep sleep, and they are in good spirits during the day. I want to know what the cause might be and how to handle it?
Answer
Occasional body shaking in children during deep sleep is a normal physiological phenomenon, but if it occurs frequently, it may be due to zinc and calcium deficiencies. It is recommended that parents pay attention to supplementing these elements in daily diet and encourage outdoor activities and physical exercise for the child to enhance physical quality and resistance. If the situation persists or worsens, it is advisable to take the child to the hospital for a detailed examination as soon as possible for timely diagnosis and treatment.
