Hi, Welcome to the ChatDoctorBrief. Romantic partial seizure (epilepsy) .is to be ruled out. Detailed answer... There are some criteria which has to be differentiated between nightmare and romantic partial seizure .for example if child remembers in the morning that what he had seen in Chat Doctor. And if child does not remember, anything in the morning and seems to be tired and lethargic then it can be partial seizure type and has to be evaluated by EEG and discussing with neurologist further.
