A member asked:
Hi my son 1 year 3 months wakes up crying screaming it's always around the same time at night. could this be night terrors and how do we treat it ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: night terrors. I suggest pediatric evaluation to rule out any developmental or psychological issues. Things light a night light, white sounds, and favorite "safe" stuffed toy. Reading a happy story at bedtime might work; however, this is a difficult issue to treat.
