Question
Why does a child suddenly have facial twitches and drool while sleeping?
Answer
When a child has a spasm while sleeping, the first step is to check and determine which muscle is experiencing the spasm, then treat the muscle at that location. When dealing with muscle spasms, it’s often effective to relieve pain by stretching the muscle in the opposite direction. Be sure to keep warm during treatment, apply even pressure when stretching, and avoid using force to prevent muscle strain.
