Why does my child’s legs tremble?

Many functions of children's bodies are not yet fully developed, so some abnormal conditions often occur in life. For example, children may experience trembling legs. At this time, parents should pay attention to it. The reasons behind this may be minor or serious. For example, it may be caused by lack of nutrition in the body, or it may be caused by some disease in the body, etc. The common reasons are listed below.

Why does my child’s legs tremble?

The child's leg tremors are probably caused by calcium deficiency. He needs to get more sun exposure. He can also take cod liver oil drops and calcium gluconate oral solution for treatment.

Guidance:

The absorption rate of calcium in food is relatively low. For example, milk, which is the easiest to digest and absorb, has a low calcium absorption rate. The absorption rate of other calcium-containing foods is even lower.

This situation in babies is mostly a normal manifestation of neurological development, especially during deep sleep.

Guidance:

It may also be related to malnutrition and calcium deficiency. It is recommended to pay attention to calcium supplements, get more sun exposure, and check trace elements if necessary to make a clear diagnosis.

In this case, the child's muscle contraction is caused by calcium deficiency, and he is sensitive to external sounds and easily startled.

Guidance:

Go to the hospital to have blood drawn for trace element testing, exercise more, get more sun, eat a balanced diet, eat more fruits and vegetables, and supplement with calcium and cod liver oil.

There are probably two reasons for shivering. The first is the common low calcium. The baby's shivering can be involuntary shaking of the hands and feet, not accompanied by poor consciousness, and the eyeballs will not stare. Some babies also have symptoms such as baldness on the back of the head, easy to be startled, crying at night, and light sleep. In this case, you should go to the hospital to check the trace elements to understand the calcium situation and supplement calcium. The second type is convulsions, such shaking of the hands and feet is accompanied by impaired consciousness and staring of the eyes.

Maintain a positive and optimistic attitude towards the disease. This is a manifestation of calcium deficiency and an early sign of rickets. Rickets is a disease that seriously affects the development of children and is of course not good for children's development. It’s related to calcium deficiency. The earliest manifestations are neuropsychiatric symptoms, such as sweating, night terrors, and crying. Excessive sweating has nothing to do with climate. Due to the stimulation of sweat, children often rub their pillows, resulting in occipital baldness or annular hair loss. Then, bone and iliac manifestations appear, such as skull softening, skull deformity, square head, large anterior fontanelle, and late closure, which may be as late as 2-3 years old. If teeth erupt late, it may be delayed until 1 year old, or not all teeth erupt until 3 years old. In severe cases, the teeth are misaligned and the enamel is underdeveloped. There will also be chest manifestations.

Guidance: If you find that your child is calcium deficient, you must seek early treatment, calcium supplementation, vitamin D supplementation, and more sun exposure to prevent deformities.
