Question 1

Want his pediatrician to see him for an evaluation, but your worrying about it won't help you or your son.

Question 2

What should i do if i am worried about my 8 year old son's head jerking and twitching?

Accepted Answer

General pediatrician first, but escalate to a pediatric neurologist before imaging. He needs a thorough exam to make sure these are not something to worry about.

Question 3

8yr son repeated episodes twitching jumpy chewing in sleep couldn't wake him in morning went hospital he said he couldn't move or talk no answers why?

Accepted Answer

What does your pediatrician say?  Getting a pediatric neurologist to take a look at your son would be a good first step and then, they could potentially refer him for a sleep study or other diagnostic testing to identify either the type of sleep disorder or other problem he may be having.

Question 4

My son is experiencing  resting tremor. the following also describes him: muscle twitching. what should he do?

Accepted Answer

Muscle twitching is caused by minor muscle contractions in the area, or uncontrollable twitching of a muscle group that is served by a single motor nerve fiber. Muscle twitches are minor and often go unnoticed. Some are common and normal. Others are signs of a nervous system disorder. have him seek medical consultation

Question 5

My son has very fast twitching visible to the eye just below his sternum. it's not painful at all and lasts 10-15 minutes about 4 times per day?

Accepted Answer

Not sure what below the sternum means (this is the center of your chest).  Sounds like the eyelids are fluttering or "twitching", this is usually caused from stress or dry eyes.  Try artificial tears and something to decrease his stress.

Question 6

My 11 year old son has begun twitching his head.  unconsciously moving his head up every couple of seconds. and complains of discomfort in his throat.?

Accepted Answer

Tic disorder. He should be checked out by his physician and then if it is a tic disorder he should be referred to a psychologist who can treat tic disorders.

Question 7

My son is only ten weeks old. irritable, blister on foot, acid reflux rash on face, twitching, hiccup sound, clear discharge from eyes. raised rash on?

Accepted Answer

Today.  There are multiple things going on here that may or may not be related, but your baby is only 10 weeks old and I think an evaluation is indicated.

Question 8

16 yr son woke up with tingling/numbness on left side of face and left eye twitching. had trouble breathing and passed out. heard gargling noise and found on floor. doesn't remember anything. have had mir/ct/eeg/ekg/video sleep and blood work all ok?

Accepted Answer

Sounds like your son had a seizure.  It also sounds like he had a lot of tests, some not done in emergency room (EEG, sleep study).  The doctor who tested him or a neurologist in your area should discuss the findings and help you decide what is wrong and what to do.  Sometimes tests reported "normal" can tell us things.  To find a neurologist, call your local hospital or medical society.

Question 9

My son is 10 days old and twitches multiple times a day is this an issue i should bring up at his next appointment or more immediately?

Accepted Answer

As long as he's eating well, wetting well, stooling well, gaining weight, and otherwise appears normal.  I always advise new parents that newborns may twitch and appear to startle over nothing.  This is often just a sign of an immature nervous system. If it's excessive or interferes with feeding/breathing/sleeping etc., then see your pediatrician for an exam and reassurance.

Question 10

My son is suffering from tic and twitch  problem how it will cure?

Accepted Answer

One who makes repeated noises or rolls his eyes or twitches his face, may have tics, which are exaggerated habits.  Of course, he might have allergies or throat irritation that "encourage" tics to continue because irritation makes him sense there is some throat discomfort. Some doctors check for strep throat when a child has new tics with throat symptoms. "Reminders" worsen tics. See pediatrician.
