Patient's question:
When my daughter was about six months old, she had a seizure during a case of diarrhea. Her eyes rolled back, her body became stiff, her fists clenched tightly, she foamed at the mouth, and her body jerked in spasms. It took about a minute before she started crying. Now she is 11 months old, and this has happened a total of nine times. The duration of each episode has been getting longer, and it always occurs when her temperature is above 39 degrees Celsius. My daughter also has delayed language development; she can only say simple words like "daddy," "mommy," and "grandpa." I wonder if it's related to her hand condition?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description of the symptoms, the baby's condition is primarily characterized by recurrent convulsions, with a high likelihood of febrile seizures, though epilepsy cannot be ruled out. Currently, in terms of language and other aspects, the baby's growth and development are poor, which may be related to tics. It is recommended to revisit the hospital for further examination, including a 24-hour ambulatory EEG, to determine whether it is epilepsy. Then, active symptomatic treatment should be initiated. The above advice is for the question "My daughter had a convulsion during a diarrhea episode when she was about 6 months old." It is hoped that this will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
