Question
Is there a significant risk of harm from EEG examination in children? The child has had a history of choking and the vomit contains black substances, accompanied by persistent diarrhea. Parents are worried about possible brain damage and are consulting about the potential harm of undergoing an EEG examination. The child has not yet received treatment. Parents hope to understand how the child should recover and what checks should be conducted to obtain a clearer diagnosis.
Answer
EEG examination in infants is relatively safe, although the digestive system of infants is not fully matured, with lower enzyme activity, but their nutritional needs are relatively high, and the intestinal burden is heavy. Inappropriate feeding, such as overfeeding of starchy and fatty foods, may lead to digestive dysfunction and cause vomiting. It is suggested to try using Children’s Laxative Granules, which have a good effect on alleviating childhood diarrhea.
