Question
A 22-day-old baby was subjected to a 6-hour dynamic EEG at the city children’s hospital, and the results were abnormal. Is this epilepsy? The doctor recommended a re-examination after some time.
Answer
Based on the description, a 22-day-old baby at the city children’s hospital underwent a 6-hour dynamic EEG, showing abnormal results. This could be due to the baby’s brain not being fully mature, leading to an increased excitability of the central nervous system. It is advised to have regular follow-ups. Maintain good sleep patterns, feed with breast milk on time. If necessary, seek treatment from the neonatal department of a regular hospital to promote brain growth and development. Keep warm and avoid catching a cold. Regularly review the EEG and closely observe the baby’s growth and development.
