Question
A seven-month-old baby suddenly becomes limp during play, as if wanting to sleep, and returns to normal after about a minute. Lately, the baby has been showing signs of rolling eyes and clenched fists. Can a baby under one year old be treated for epilepsy with medication?
Answer
Epilepsy is a brain disorder caused by the abnormal, excessive discharge of neuron groups in the brain, commonly characterized by seizures. There are currently treatment options that can repair damaged neurons, thereby curing epilepsy attacks.
