What Causes Shaking And Pain Of Hand For A 6 Years Old?

My six year old son s arms started shaking last night. he complained of pain. the shaking stopped when he went to sleep, but started again this morning- especially when he uses them to eat, brush his teeth, etc. He said that he does t feel much pain this morning but he holds his arms out stiff in front of him when he walks. What could be the cause?

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

This could be a tremor of some kind. He needs to be seen by a pediatrician to understand what the underlying problem may be, as a tremor is nothing more than a symptom of something that is causing it to appear. I suspect that the doctor will order some blood tests to rule out problems like a low blood calcium, for example.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
