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.
My daughter of 5 has had a fever of 99 to 102 for the past two days. She is now experiencing jolts awake from 'falling dreams' just minutes after going to sleep. She is also experiencing the same type of jolt when awake. Is this normal or cause for concern?
Hi....some times during high fever some kids develop these jerks or the tics. You need not panic if your kid's consciousness is normal. Some times it can lead onto febrile delirium also. But I suggest you let her seen by a physician or a pediatrician.
Sometimes it is called benign sleep myoclonus and can be self limting too. Regards - Dr. Sumanth
