Question : Hello doc,
My 4 year old daughter complains of stomach pain after her food and her stomach was twitching so doctor has prescribed junior lanzol half tablet twice for 5 days. He told her diaphragm must be irritated that's why twitching now it has reduced but still I can feel it while she is sleeping every 20 minutes or so. What can be the problem. This is happening from 2 weeks after she drank soda for the first time

Brief Answer:
It could be due to abdominal distention
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone through the question. Although it is hard to comment on the cause without examining the child, I will give you some suggestions that might help.
* Give her Colicaid Drops 1 ml when required, especially before going to sleep after food. If it is due to abdominal distention, it should provide relief.
* Give her 1 or 2 teaspoonfuls of isabgol husk daily after dinner. It should help in regularising the bowel movements and should provide relief.
* You may give junior lanzol if you feel required.
Hope that helps.

My pediatrician did a blood test calcium magnesium potassium and vitamin d3 everything is normal but she is still twitching her body in sleep so he told it might be sleep myoclonus and asked me to do egg done. Why does this sleep myoclonus come and is it dangerous when will it stop this is happening from 1 week
Brief Answer:
A video EEG is more preferable in such a case
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking back.
Sleep myoclonus generally occurs due to problem with receptors to neurotransmitters like serotonin. It is generally benign or harmless. However infection needs to be excluded as a possible cause. Otherwise it does not require treatment or symptomatic treatment may be given. It is hard to predict how long it will be there but it can take a while.
