Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, my baby is 20 mths old, i have been noticing that her foot shakes/tembles soemtimes. This was happening till she was 14-15 mths and thne it stopped.But it has started happenign agian since yesterday and that too very frequently. Also, i have noticed that she trembles sometimes when she wakes up suddenly.
Hi, Welcome to Hcm , Trembling is very non specific in most children which has no specific reason but that's usually seen rarely and not frequently. If its frequently seen then following possibilities I would consider and evaluate in those lines if I were your pediatrician .. 1. Hypoglycemia - low sugars which is very uncommon in this age, however needs to be kept in mind. 2. Seizures- if trembling is associated with loss of consciousness. If consciousness is normal then seizures can be ruled out completely. 3. Hypocalcemia- is the most common possibility here in your child's case and needs to be evaluated by doing a blood calcium level. Hope I answered your query completely. Let me know if there is any clarification. Takecare.
