How to deal with spasm in the arm of a one year old?
Patient: My one year old has been having what I can only describe as a spasm in his right arm throughout each day for about a week now. The first time he did it, I thought it was an "I dunno" kind of one-shoulder shrug but he continued to do it without response to anything. Doctor: Hi...by what you quote I feel this is a tic or a behavioral issue which is developing. But the other possibility could be a stiffness of the particular arm due to a neurological deficit. I suggest you consult your pediatrician or pediatric neurologist for this.Regards - Dr. Sumanth
