Question
A 6-month-old baby cannot lift her head, can roll over, and has normal appetite with no other significant abnormalities. However, she sometimes shakes. What factors or causes could lead to a child’s seizures?
Answer
Hello, child seizures are usually caused by abnormal discharge in the brain, leading to excessive activity of brain cells. Possible causes include genetic factors, acquired trauma, or infections. It is recommended to continue taking anti-epileptic medications such as carbamazepine, phenytoin, or valproate, and to complement with traditional Chinese medicine like Suan Zao Ren Soup, An Shen Bu Nao Liquid, as well as acupuncture therapy. In addition, it is important to quit smoking and drinking, and maintain a good mental state. We understand that infantile spasms can have severe effects on children. If not treated immediately or with inappropriate treatment methods, the disease can progress rapidly, potentially causing significant harm to the child. Therefore, it is advisable to seek regular treatment at a professional hospital as soon as possible.
