Question
My child has been shaking while sleeping at night for three years. What could be the cause?
Answer
Frequent shaking during sleep may be due to insufficient calcium levels in the body, leading to increased excitability of the muscle nerve junctions. Of course, if the child has experienced excessive fright, this could also be a possibility. It is best to take the child to the hospital for a detailed examination to see if there are deficiencies in trace elements. If there is a deficiency, it is recommended to supplement calcium appropriately for the child, also consider incorporating vegetables rich in calcium into their diet, and pay attention to a balanced diet. It’s also important to avoid frightening the child and keeping them from catching a cold.
