Question
A mother had signs of a miscarriage in early pregnancy and managed to preserve the child with medication. One month after the child was born, the mother noticed a twitching of the corner of the child’s mouth while breastfeeding, and there was no fever. The child is now one and a half years old and no more twitching has been observed. Is this epilepsy? Do we need to go to the hospital for a check-up now?
Answer
Hello: Such situations are often seen in limited epilepsy attack or symptoms of calcium deficiency. I suggest you go to the hospital for an EEG examination and a blood trace element test, and formulate a treatment plan based on the results of the examination.
