Question
Could a five-month-old baby’s sudden shock lead to epilepsy?
Answer
Based on the description, the baby’s symptoms are unlikely to be epilepsy, which typically presents with symptoms such as frothing at the mouth and convulsions. If the baby is easily startled during naps or has restless sleep, it is likely due to calcium deficiency. It is recommended to supplement the baby’s diet with calcium-rich foods such as dairy products, beans, and seafood. You can also administer calcium gluconate oral solution for treatment. It is best to conduct a trace element screening to determine the cause of the condition before proceeding with appropriate treatment.
