Question
The child is 1.5 years old and often struggles to breathe while crying, but can recover after a few seconds. The child has experienced stiffness, clenched jaws, and upward eye rolling due to the inability to breathe while crying, which lasted about five minutes before recovering. Similar situations have occurred during colds and medication administration, with crying at night during deep sleep every night, requiring soothing for about 10 minutes, and restless movements at night.
Answer
The child is at a critical stage of rapid neurological growth and development at 1.5 years old. A detailed MRI examination of the brain has not shown any abnormalities, allowing for the temporary exclusion of organic inflammation. Abnormalities in the EEG are not worth concern but cannot be used as a diagnostic basis. It is recommended to take good care of the child daily to reduce the recurrence of crying, stabilize the child’s emotions. Additionally, calcium supplementation can help alleviate crying at night. Pay attention to the child’s daily performance and consider re-examining the EEG if necessary.
