Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

I think, he has night terror. This is quiet common in children. In that case, you should consult a child psychologist. Usually, in children, night terror happens due to some underline psychological fear about some condition or person etc. In that case, psychologist would help you to resolve the conflict in his mind and try to solve the situation. In case, you need further help, you can ask.

Thanks
