Question

After my child has a cold, they always twitch while sleeping. Why is that? It never happened before.

Answer

Hello, your little one’s condition seems to be a sudden occurrence during sleep, sometimes triggered by sound, and sometimes it happens without any stimulus. It manifests as a sudden body tremor, after which they either continue to sleep or wake up, but there’s no discomfort afterward. This situation is considered a physiological phenomenon, caused by the rapid and unstable development of the nervous system. If it happens too frequently, consider a possible illness!
