Question
The 6-month-old baby cannot lift her head, can roll over, and has normal appetite. There are no significant abnormalities, but she sometimes shivers. What are the causes of neonatal seizures?
Answer
If the newborn frequently experiences obvious limb convulsions and muscle spasms, with considerable force, and even has the situation of frothing at the mouth, it is considered to be a neurological disorder, commonly associated with epilepsy. It is recommended to conduct further detailed Brain Electroencephalogram (EEG) and cranial CT scans for a clear diagnosis. Epilepsy may not have a clear family history, and early medication intervention is required after diagnosis to avoid serious situations that could lead to tongue drooping and affect life safety.
