Question
Why does a child kick their legs while sleeping at night, similar to a convulsion, and should I be worried about it being a psychiatric disorder or a Sequelae of a high fever?
Answer
A neurological examination and EEG should be conducted to differentiate whether it is emotional cross-fisting syndrome or epilepsy. If it is the former, appropriate parenting methods should be adopted and harsh punishment should be avoided. Consider behavioral correction or medication treatment if necessary, and it is recommended to consult a pediatric neurologist or psychiatrist.
