Question
What treatment methods are available for neonatal convulsions?
Answer
Children with a very young age of onset are not easily diagnosed with benign convulsions. It’s possible that the condition is still due to medication effects. It is currently not recommended to discontinue medication and continuous observation of the child and brainwave changes is necessary. However, precautions should be taken regarding the side effects of phenobarbital, especially allergies and liver function. If neonatal convulsions are not treated promptly or the treatment method is incorrect, the condition can deteriorate rapidly, and it is essential to seek treatment at a professional hospital as soon as possible.
