Question
Dear Doctor, the child’s head is thrown back, his eyes are dull, his arms are stiff, his legs are bent, and his lips are blue. What’s going on if the child has had nine fits in three months?
Answer
Based on the information you provided, the child’s current symptoms require further examination at the hospital. The symptoms resemble cerebral palsy, but epilepsy cannot be ruled out either. The main cause of cerebral palsy may be brain damage caused by hypoxia at birth. It is recommended to undergo brain CT and EEG scans for further diagnosis.
