Question
At around one month old, the baby screams when seeing someone familiar, is this normal?
Answer
This situation could be a normal behavior of the baby, but it could also be a sign of epilepsy. Epilepsy is a clinical phenomenon caused by abnormal and excessive synchronization of neuronal discharge in the brain, characterized by sudden and brief convulsions or loss of consciousness. It is recommended to undergo an electroencephalogram first, and if necessary, treatment with phenytoin can be administered. Parents should pay close attention to their child’s condition and take them for treatment promptly, as pediatric neurological diseases can progress rapidly, causing significant harm to the child.
