Question
The 9-month-old baby has been crying recently when upset, and the crying leads to seizures, which stop only when the child’s carotid artery is massaged. This has happened 4 to 5 times in the past 3 days. What was the previous treatment and its effectiveness? What kind of assistance is needed now?
Answer
Based on the description, it is suspected that the baby is experiencing a recurrence of apnea. It is recommended to undergo an EEG to rule out epilepsy. If it is confirmed that it is not epilepsy, it may be a recurrence of apnea, which usually does not require special treatment.
