17 month old screaming at night?

Question

My 17 month old has never been a great sleeper, but lately he will wake up in the middle of the night just screaming and crying bloody murder
He does it every few days, and i can never find anything wrong (except scratching his skin which he does often cuz of eczema) and he calms down when he sits with a toy after a while…
He eventually falls back asleep but it confuses me so much.

Answer

I had this happen with my daughter. Started around 18 months with night terrors. I recently started seeing a naturalpath doctor. She said it can be caused by worms, a parasite. They are awake and moving at night.  I am currently treating her for this under this drs care. 
My daughters night terrors for better around age 2 1/2. I would go In and basically wrap my body around hers til it went calm. Later I got her a weighted blanket. She is 4 1/2 now and still uses it. 
For the eczema, the one thing that worked well for hers was tea tree oil. I was amazed!!! Wondered why no one knew about it. I would put a small amount on her skin with a carrier oil like almond oil a few times a day and before bed. It cleared hers right up!! The reason for the carrier oil is so the tea tree oil doesn’t evaporate fast off the skin. 
I hope some of this helps.
