Question
In the past two months, I’ve noticed my child frequently twitching in their sleep (sometimes like a scare, sometimes not quite like one). Last night, I observed their head twisting rapidly, as if having a seizure, and their legs and buttocks moved rapidly three times in a row. No abnormalities were found during the day.
Answer
Hello, based on the symptoms you described, it is currently impossible to determine if your child has pediatric epilepsy. Generally, abnormal brain electrical activity that occurs during sleep is mostly a normal phenomenon. We suggest continuing to observe and strengthen your child’s physical fitness, which can help improve sleep quality and abnormal brain electrical activity. We know that pediatric epilepsy can have a significant impact on children, and if not treated promptly and correctly, the condition may deteriorate rapidly. Therefore, please pay close attention to your child’s condition and bring them for medical examination as soon as possible.
