Question
A six-month-old baby exhibited shrugging and neck-curling movements after their first fever, which occurred occasionally thereafter, with no other developmental issues. By nine months old, the frequency of these episodes increased, presenting with nodding and hugging-like movements. The hospital diagnosed the condition as infantile convulsions, with a normal MRI but abnormal EEG. After starting medication treatment, the convulsion symptoms were controlled; however, symptoms relapse due to missed doses and colds during this period. The child is now seventeen months old and has had the condition under control for about three months. It has been observed that the arms and legs are in good condition, but there is insufficient strength in the waist. Before medication treatment, crawling was normal, but after treatment, crawling is unstable and the child often falls. They need to hold onto objects while standing and have not yet been able to stand alone.
Answer
Infantile convulsions can have a significant impact on children. If not treated promptly or appropriately, the condition may worsen rapidly. It is recommended to seek treatment at a professional medical institution and undergo standardized treatment. At the same time, family recovery training is also very important as it can help improve the child’s symptoms. Outpatient training guidance can assist in formulating personalized recovery plans.
