Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic. I think it is just jitteriness which is quite common in this age group. When it occurs next time, gently touch the limb and if it stops, it is jitteriness. Sometimes it can be caused by low calcium. I suggest you start giving Vitamin D supplements as drops for daily maintenance therapy. Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
