What are the symptoms of sleep convulsions in children?

Seizures are very common in infancy, and some children may also experience symptoms of sleep seizures. The problem of sleep convulsions in children is very serious and may even be life-threatening, so it must be taken seriously. Children's sleep convulsions have obvious symptoms, so you must pay attention when abnormal behavior occurs. So what are the symptoms of sleep convulsions in children?

1. The baby is sweating profusely when just falling asleep or about to wake up.

It can be said that night sweats are normal for most babies. However, if you are sweating profusely and have other symptoms of discomfort, you should pay close attention, strengthen care, and go to the hospital for examination and treatment if necessary. For example, if a baby has a square head, late teething, or late closure of the fontanelle, he or she may be suffering from rickets.

2. The baby is irritable before going to bed at night, and after falling asleep, his body becomes dry, his cheeks become red, his breathing becomes rapid, and his pulse rate increases to more than 110 beats/minute.

This is a sign that the baby is about to develop a fever. You should pay attention to whether your baby has cold symptoms or diarrhea symptoms, and also make sure to keep him hydrated. If the baby really has symptoms of fever, physical cooling methods such as alcohol wiping should be adopted.

3. The baby cries while sleeping, often shakes his head, scratches his ears, and sometimes has a fever.

Your baby may have otitis externa, eczema, or otitis media. You should check the baby's ear canal for redness or swelling, and whether there are red spots on the skin. If so, send the baby to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time.

4. The baby's limbs shake while sleeping.

This is usually caused by excessive fatigue during the day and there is no need to worry. It should be noted that it is a normal reaction for a baby to tremble when hearing a loud noise while sleeping. On the contrary, if there is no reaction and he likes to sleep on weekdays, be careful that he may be deaf.

5. Babies chew constantly after falling asleep.

The baby may have ascariasis, or may have eaten too much during the day and have indigestion. You can go to the hospital for a check-up. If it is ascariasis, you can use special anthelmintics for babies to eliminate it. If ascariasis is ruled out, you should arrange the baby's diet reasonably.
