Question
After a cold, my child keeps twitching during sleep. What’s going on? They didn’t have this symptom before.
Answer
Hello, when a child’s body twitches suddenly during sleep, it can sometimes be triggered by sounds, and sometimes it can occur without any stimulation. This kind of manifestation usually appears suddenly, and the child will either continue to fall asleep or wake up, and there will be no discomfort afterward. This situation is generally considered a physiological phenomenon, caused by the immature and unstable development of the nervous system. If this condition occurs too frequently, it may be necessary to consider the possibility of underlying diseases.
