Why does a child grind their teeth tightly with their legs twisted?

Patient's question:

When the baby cries, their whole body is very tense, looking like they are putting in a lot of effort. Their teeth are clenched tightly, their feet are twisted together very tightly, and their hands are clenched into fists, as if they are in great pain.
Previous treatment history and effectiveness: In the county hospital, the examination was not thorough, and it was unclear what was wrong...

Doctor's answer:

The situation you mentioned with the child is also a relatively common phenomenon during childhood. It is recommended that you pay close attention and observe the child for a period of time to see what is the actual cause. If the child frequently exhibits this behavior, it is advisable to take the child to the pediatric department of a hospital for an electroencephalogram (EEG) to determine if it is caused by epilepsy. It is best to confirm the diagnosis before proceeding with further treatment for better results.
