Five symptoms of sleep convulsions in babies

I believe that watching their baby fall asleep sweetly and listening to their baby's even and rhythmic breathing are what parents want most. However, babies may experience some abnormal phenomena during their sleep, that is, they may experience convulsions while sleeping. Therefore, parents should learn to observe the health of their baby while he is sleeping. Then the editor below will introduce the five symptoms of infant sleep convulsions!

Symptom 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.

Symptom 2: The baby is irritable before going to bed at night, and his body becomes dry and his cheeks become red after falling asleep. His breathing becomes rapid, and his pulse rate increases to over 110 beats per 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.

Symptom three: The baby cries while sleeping, often shakes his head and 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.

Symptom 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.

Symptom 5: The baby keeps chewing 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.

Normal babies are relatively quiet and comfortable when sleeping, with even breathing without any sound. If there are signs of convulsions, parents should be alert as their children may be suffering from some disease. Sometimes there are some funny expressions on the face. However, if the baby has the symptoms we mentioned above, parents should pay great attention to it.
