Patient's question:
Not long after the child was born at home, they developed epilepsy. This condition makes the child appear very unusual; when held in the arms, they lack energy, spending most of their time napping, and their hands and feet also tremble. I want to understand what causes infantile epilepsy. What kind of help is needed: How is infantile epilepsy caused?Doctor's answer:
Infantile symptomatic epilepsy is a common cause of birth injuries in infants and young children due to various reasons. It may also be caused by poor nutritional catabolism after birth, leading to hypoglycemia or a lack of vitamin B6, which can easily trigger seizures. In addition, one possible cause may be trauma due to the child's immune system being overly sensitive. If the child has a weak immune system, accidental trauma can easily lead to colds or fever, which can also cause epilepsy.
