Question
I recently discovered that my child occasionally experiences full-body twitching during sleep at night, sometimes a few times, and sometimes more than ten times. There are no abnormal symptoms during the day, and the child does not show any discomfort.
Answer
Hello, considering that your child’s condition is abnormal, it could be due to a calcium deficiency or epilepsy. It is recommended to actively seek medical examination and treatment without delay. You can go to a large hospital to have blood calcium levels checked and undergo EEGs, MRIs, and other tests to identify the cause or etiology and then actively treat the condition. If it is epilepsy, medication will be required to control the symptoms and reduce recurrence.
