Patient's question:
My child is two years old. At night, he loves to dream, and most of the dreams are scary ones, such as "mom is gone" and so on. He sleeps restlessly at night, often jumping awake after 12 a.m., sometimes turning over and sometimes crying a few sounds. But during the day, he is fine and shows no symptoms. The symptoms have been occurring for a month.Doctor's answer:
Hello. It could be caused by excessive mental activity before sleep. Nightmares may be due to subconscious fear caused by shock or similar factors. Dietary supplements can be used to address this condition. Pay attention to sleep posture. Reduce negative stimuli. Appropriate psychological comfort can also be provided. It is recommended that parents take the child for an electroencephalogram to identify the specific cause. Monitor sleep conditions. Test for trace elements and blood lead and cadmium levels.
