Question
During sleep, neonates may exhibit symptoms such as clenched fists, whole-body convulsions, rapid breathing, and even swimming-like movements, and they cannot be awakened. This phenomenon usually lasts for about 3 minutes before they return to normal sleep posture on their own. If the cause of this seizure is unknown, how should it be handled?
Answer
Neonatal seizures during sleep may be related to high fever convulsions, calcium deficiency, or brain issues. It is recommended that parents bring their baby to the pediatric department of a local hospital for a consultation and undergo relevant examinations under the guidance of a doctor to confirm the diagnosis and then receive appropriate treatment. At the same time, ensure that the baby consumes enough warm water and create a warm, comfortable, and quiet sleep environment for them.
