Child With Shaking In The Arms And Legs After A Fall. Worried

My baby cousin fell of off the couch early this after afternoon, and she cryed for a bit. Then afterwards she seemed like her normal self.. Hours later though, (about 2 or 3 hours) We layed her on her back and my brother was watching her. He said he saw her shaking her arms and legs like a shiver, but she stopped in 3 seconds. I'm not sure whats going on?

Hi,

Thanks for writing to health care magic.

A detailed description is required to rule out a seizure. If that was a seizure then your child requires further medical attention as a emergency.

Was your child conscious during the episode? Is there any up rolling of eyes?

Continue to ask further queries as required.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
