Three-year-old child twitches while sleeping

Young children are often prone to some diseases. Three-year-old children have low immunity and are prone to colds and fevers. Some situations are prone to occur when children are sleeping. For example, problems such as convulsions may occur frequently, which should have a lot to do with the child's own resistance. Parents are most worried about their children getting sick, but what should they do if their three-year-old child twitches while sleeping?

So-called spasms are also called convulsions. It is common in children under six years old. The attack often occurs suddenly during sleep. When an attack occurs, breathing will stop and the child will begin foaming at the mouth or making abnormal sounds, followed by convulsions in the limbs. Here's how to deal with your baby's twitching while sleeping.

1. If a baby has convulsions while sleeping, the convulsions usually last for a short time and do not require immediate medical treatment. However, please note that if respiratory arrest occurs, medical treatment must be sought immediately or oxygen should be administered immediately if conditions permit. Because sleep may also cause convulsions, foaming at the mouth or a lot of vomit, at this time, tilt the child's body or head to one side to allow the vomit to be discharged smoothly and avoid suffocation caused by vomitus blocking the airway.

2. When a spasm occurs, the child's mouth may be tightly closed. At this time, in order to prevent children from biting their tongues, you can put a piece of cloth between their teeth, or use chopsticks.

3. When the baby falls asleep, he suddenly has spasms and convulsions. If anything, we should quickly call an ambulance and explain the situation. The ambulance will be equipped with oxygen delivery equipment to prevent neurological damage from oxygen deprivation to the baby's nerves.

4. When a convulsion occurs, let the child lie flat and do not move him/her at will. The child's clothes should be undressed quickly, and the child should be allowed to lie down and rest. Do not use strong staining or twitching, otherwise it is easy to cause fractures.

After reading the above introduction, do you know how to deal with your baby's convulsions while sleeping? In addition, parents should pay more attention to their children's physical exercise and improvement of their physical resistance. When children are resting, the bedrooms should be ventilated with windows open to reduce the chance of infection. Attention should be paid to the nutritional balance of children to prevent the occurrence of hypocalcemia and symptoms of hypoglycemia.
