Question
What’s the disease when a baby has convulsions, eyes rolling up, and lips turning blue?
Answer
The baby is having increasingly frequent convulsions, during which the eyes roll up and the lips turn blue, with the hands becoming red. There is no high fever. This could be a sign of epilepsy. The main symptoms of epilepsy include sudden collapse, limb convulsions, incontinence of urine or feces, and foaming at the mouth. It can be categorized into primary and secondary forms. Secondary epilepsy is often caused by brain injury or high fever. Treatment can include the use of Capoten and Debacine under medical guidance, and it is important to monitor Brain Electroencephalogram (EEG). During feeding, it is advisable to avoid overeating and ensure warmth to prevent catching a cold.
