Pediatrician, Pulmonology 's  Response
Hi,

Your son might be experiencing night terrors (that what this is called medically).

He might require a trained professional child psychologist's intervention.

But one thing I can assure you is that - it is not dangerous or life-threatening and neither is an emergency.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
