Patient's question:
Baby was born about ten days ago and noticed convulsions. The head was tilted to one side, the whole body was stiff, the face was flushed red and a bit blue, and then went to Shanghai Fudan University Affiliated Children's Hospital for treatment. Now, after the second hospitalization, it has been about ten days, using three medications: phenobarbital, cephalexin, and prednisone, but the convulsions still occur.Doctor's answer:
In this case, it is necessary to consider the possibility of severe infantile pain, which is often related to abnormal brain development. It is recommended to consult a pediatrician again and improve the configuration of EEG, brain topography, and other examinations to carefully check and identify the cause of the twitching. Timely treatment should be provided after the cause is confirmed. The best approach is to improve video EEG and head MRI examinations. In terms of treatment, antiepileptic medication should also be administered. The above suggestions are for the question "Baby has twitching symptoms after being born for ten days." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
