Cramps can be caused by cold, calcium deficiency and epilepsy.
1. Cold: If the room temperature is low and the child is more active during sleep and often kicks the quilt, resulting in the quilt not being properly covered, the child’s body may get cold and cause cramps.
2. Calcium deficiency: Children have a high demand for calcium during their growth and development period. If they do not consume enough calcium, the calcium level in the blood will be low, leading to an increase in the excitability of the nervous system, which will often lead to cramps.
3. Epilepsy: children may suffer from epilepsy due to heredity, congenital underdevelopment of the brain structure, etc. In the early stage of epilepsy, the abnormal over-discharge of neurons in the brain may cause the child’s body to produce cramps.
There may be other reasons for your child’s cramps, so it is recommended to consult a doctor to find out the cause and have it regulated by the doctor.
