One year old baby convulsions

What is going on when a one-year-old baby is having convulsions? There are many reasons. The first thing people may think of is epilepsy, but don't worry, it's not a big deal. What you need to do is to send the baby to the pediatric department of the hospital for examination in time. You can use an EEG or a CT scan. It is important to identify the root cause of the baby's convulsions and provide symptomatic treatment. Do not abuse medication or make an unclear diagnosis.

There are many reasons for baby convulsions, including epilepsy. Epilepsy, commonly known as "epilepsy" or "seizures", is a chronic disease in which brain neurons suddenly discharge abnormally, leading to temporary brain dysfunction. There are about 9 million epilepsy patients in China, of which 5 to 6 million are active epilepsy patients. At the same time, there are about 400,000 new epilepsy patients every year. In China, epilepsy has become the second most common disease in neurology after headache.

The early symptoms of epilepsy are generally sudden cessation of movement and empty eyes that end suddenly after five to ten seconds. In severe cases, there is sudden loss of consciousness, respiratory arrest, twitching of limbs, clenched fists, eyes rolled up or black eyeballs tilted to one side, cyanosis of the face, foaming at the mouth, often accompanied by tongue biting and urinary incontinence. It is recommended to go to a specialized hospital for epilepsy examination!

Guidance: Therefore, the child’s condition does not rule out the manifestation of epilepsy. It is recommended that the child must be taken to the hospital for dynamic electroencephalogram, magnetic resonance imaging and other examinations, and then targeted treatment should be carried out based on the examination results.
