Causes of convulsions in children's sleep

Every parent hopes that their children can stay healthy, but some children always twitch when they sleep. This phenomenon represents the occurrence of tics, which is very harmful to children in life. Next we will introduce what to do.

Because children grow faster in their early years but their nervous system development cannot keep up, some children will suffer from convulsions after birth.

However, if a child has twitching hands and feet, and is also accompanied by high fever, vomiting, a full fontanelle and other symptoms of increased intracranial pressure, then it should be taken seriously. If you find this situation, you must go to the hospital in time to avoid accidents.

The following two situations are pathological convulsions, please pay attention:

1) Calcium deficiency

The specific manifestations are excessive sweating and occipital protuberance. If occipital protuberance occurs, it is a typical calcium deficiency. Generally speaking, children should be fed cod liver oil and calcium supplements one week after birth. This will replenish the calcium needed for their body growth. Otherwise, they are prone to calcium deficiency.

2) Brain damage

If a child's convulsions are accompanied by involuntary deviation of the mouth and eyes, this may be caused by brain damage.

At various stages of a child's growth, many diseases or physiological phenomena manifest themselves in the form of "convulsions". If you are worried, it is recommended to use a video EEG to monitor the "seizure" process of your child during sleep. If there is no abnormal discharge in the EEG, it is definitely not epilepsy.

From the above article, we learned that regarding the phenomenon of children twitching while sleeping, first of all, mothers are very anxious and worried that their children’s bodies will be affected. It is recommended that everyone seek timely treatment.
