What Causes Child To Jerk Hands And Legs In Sleep During Fever?

Hi, it's 3am here and my 14 month old woke up and was hot to the touch. I took her temp and it's (37.7C) 100F. That's ok. But when I finally got her to fall back alseep, she started to jerk in her sleep. About every 10 to 15 seconds her arms and legs would jerk just for a second. It lasted a few minutes and now seems to have stopped. Should I be worried or can I just let her sleep and see how she is in the morning?

Hi, if the temperature is not raising and if the jerks are no more... then you can go morning to get your kid examined.... If jerks are repeating then definitely it's a concern
