Patient's question:
When the baby sleeps, they always clench their fists and twitch all over their body. Their breathing is very rapid, and sometimes it's like they're swimming. They can't be awakened even when called. Usually, the twitching stops within about 3 minutes, and they return to normal sleep posture. I want to ask, what should I do if the cause of the baby's twitching cannot be found?Doctor's answer:
Newborns may experience convulsive symptoms while sleeping. This could be related to high fever seizures. It could also be linked to calcium deficiency or brain issues, among other causes. You should take the baby to the pediatric department of a local hospital for consultation. Under the guidance of the hospital doctors, relevant tests should be conducted. Once a definitive diagnosis is made, treatment can begin. Give the baby more warm water to drink. Create a warm, comfortable, and quiet sleeping environment for the baby.
