Question
A 22-day-old baby underwent a 6-hour dynamic electroencephalogram (EEG) examination at a children’s hospital, and the results showed abnormalities. Does this indicate that the baby has epilepsy? The doctor recommended re-examination after some time.
Answer
Based on the description, the baby, who is only 22 days old, underwent a 6-hour dynamic EEG examination, with the results showing abnormalities. This may be due to the baby’s brain not being fully developed, leading to an increased excitability of the central nervous system. It is suggested to have regular check-ups, maintain good sleep habits, feed on breast milk on time, and seek medication treatment to promote brain development at a regular hospital’s neonatal department if necessary. At the same time, pay attention to keeping warm and avoid catching a cold. Regularly check the EEG and closely observe the baby’s growth and development.
