A 10-year-old child's hands and feet shake while sleeping

Ten years old is a critical period for a child's growth and development, and every move of the child is enough to make parents nervous. Many parents will find that their children are clearly not calcium deficient, but their hands and feet often shake when they sleep at night. This is a very abnormal phenomenon, and it has caused parents to worry that their children may have physical problems. So what is the reason why 10-year-old children shake when they sleep?

1. Lack of calcium, vitamin D and malnutrition are all related. It is recommended that you go to the health department of the Children's Hospital to give your baby a health check-up, do a blood test for bone alkaline phosphatase, and trace elements to help with diagnosis and treatment. The baby should eat more milk, eggs, and lean meat to enhance nutrition and supplement calcium and iron.

2. Epilepsy, commonly known as "epilepsy, epilepsy", is a chronic disease in which sudden abnormal discharges of brain neurons lead to temporary brain dysfunction. An epileptic seizure is a clinical phenomenon caused by abnormal and excessive hypersynchronous discharges of brain neurons. It is characterized by sudden and transient symptoms, with a variety of manifestations depending on where in the brain the abnormally firing neurons are located. Epilepsy is a relatively difficult disease to treat. Whether it can be cured depends not only on drug factors, but also on the cause, type and age of the disease. Some can be cured, while others require lifelong medication. However, it is best to find out the cause of epilepsy. After eliminating the cause, it may be cured.

3. Children's brains are not fully developed, and their excitation and inhibition functions are not complete, which will lead to certain muscle activities during sleep. However, it is necessary to identify whether there is abnormal brain discharge (including epilepsy, inflammation, birth trauma) and whether there is calcium deficiency. Recommendation: EEG examination, trace element examination, and head CT scan if necessary. If everything is normal, just use a quilt to cover the child's limbs when he sleeps.

4. The child may be suffering from nutritional vitamin D deficiency rickets. Because children are picky eaters during their growth and development period, if they have a partial diet, it is easy to cause vitamin D deficiency and calcium absorption disorder, resulting in symptoms such as square head, pigeon chest, irritability, night sweats, and growing pains. It is recommended that you give your child vitamin AD capsules and calcium tablets (such as Calcium Trace, etc.), and at the same time, give him a balanced diet, not be picky or biased in eating, and develop the habit of not eating snacks. Keep exercising to improve your disease resistance.
