This is a normal finding during NREM stage of sleep. Not much to worry. Deworming is not going to help as is the normal notion. Please ensure a good and happy behaviour with your child so that he has less stress and anxiety issues. Take note of the dental health and hygiene. No other treatment needed usually.
