Question
When a child is diagnosed with infantile spasms at eight months old and their symptoms are controlled after treatment, with normal EEG results, they suddenly develop left leg weakness at the age of two, and sometimes experience wide-eyed and breathing pauses at night. After receiving injections in the hospital, their symptoms were relieved, but six days later, the child’s leg returned to its original state. The doctor at the time said that these symptoms wouldn’t reoccur after the injection, but now they have returned. What should we do? Is there a possibility for the child’s leg to recover normally? How likely is it?
Answer
It is recommended to take the child to the hospital for further examination to determine the cause of the spasms and for further treatment.
