The trembling you describe may indicate some sort of seizure disorder -- seizure disorders are more commonly known as epilepsy. Seizure disorders vary greatly in type and severity. Even if the tremors are not the result of seizures -- they may indicate some sort of neurological problem.

Seizures and other neurological problems can result from an infant falling or being dropped -- even if the outward injuries appeared minor in the time.

You should have your daughter evaluated by a pediatrician as soon as possible. If a neurological problem exists -- treatment will be much more effective if it is begun early.

Let me know if you need more input. If not, thanks for the opportunity to assist you... Please honor my efforts by Clicking the green 'Accept' button (located within this post -- above-right). Adding a bonus -- should you wish to do so -- would be warmly welcomed.

Good Luck!
