Question

Is it a sign of neonatal convulsions if a newborn’s eyes are wide open during the day? What are the specific symptoms of neonatal convulsions?

Answer

Currently, it is important to observe the child’s condition. It is not uncommon for children to exhibit such behaviors due to fear or calcium deficiency. It is recommended to appropriately increase calcium and cod liver oil in the child’s diet. At the same time, attention should be paid to whether the newborn has an exaggerated response to general touch or hearing, such as restlessness and screaming, as well as symptoms like fixed eye gaze, tremors, persistent blinking, repeated chewing and suckling of the mouth, irregular breathing accompanied by skin discoloration, and facial muscle spasms.
