Patient's question:
A 6-month-old baby cannot lift their head, can roll over, has a normal appetite, and shows no significant abnormalities, but sometimes they shake their head back and forth. What could be the issue with the baby shaking their head for long periods?Doctor's answer:
In your case, it may be a state of grand mal epilepsy, which refers to a clinical phenomenon caused by abnormal and excessive hypersynchronous discharge of brain neurons. Its characteristics are sudden and transient symptoms. Due to the different locations of the abnormally discharging neurons in the brain, there are various manifestations. It is recommended to first undergo an electroencephalogram (EEG) examination and, if necessary, use phenytoin sodium treatment.

If it is not treated in a timely manner or if the treatment method is incorrect, its progression is rapid, and it can bring great harm to the patient. Therefore, it is essential to seek professional medical treatment at a specialized hospital for standardized treatment, as this is the key.
