Question
My baby has epilepsy and had a seizure after a fall. What’s going on, could it be a brain injury?
Answer
Epileptic seizures occur due to abnormal discharge of neurons in the brain, often related to post-concussive syndrome from brain injury or encephalitis. Based on your description, the baby’s seizure may have been triggered by the fall, possibly leading to brain injury. It is advisable to observe for symptoms such as nausea or vomiting, and if these occur, seek medical attention immediately.
