Question
My baby is eight months old and accidentally fell out of bed at night. There were no abnormalities at the time, but a few days later, she experienced short-term seizure-like symptoms. The symptoms include: tight clenching of the jaw, the limbs are stretched out with force, lasting for only one or two seconds. An EEG showed no abnormalities. There were no abnormalities yesterday, but the symptoms appeared again today, accompanied by a general effort, face turning red, lasting for about three seconds.
Answer
The brain tissue of infants is relatively fragile and can easily be injured by external collisions. If the baby shows symptoms such as poor mental state, drowsiness, loss of appetite, irritability, and even seizures, it is necessary to be vigilant about the possibility of skull and brain injury. It is recommended to take the child to the hospital for a brain CT scan to rule out organic changes. During this period, closely observe for symptoms such as headaches and vomiting.
