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. What factors or underlying conditions could be causing the child's convulsions?Doctor's answer:
Hello, epilepsy is generally caused by abnormal discharge of bioelectricity in the brain, leading to abnormal activity and dysfunction of brain cells. It is related to factors such as genetics or acquired trauma, infection, etc. It is recommended to persist in taking antiepileptic drugs, such as carbamazepine, phenytoin, and diazepam, while combining traditional Chinese medicine treatments like the sour jujube seed decoction, anshen bubao liquid, acupuncture and moxibustion therapy. It is also important to quit smoking and drinking, and maintain a positive mindset.We know that infantile spasms can cause significant harm to children.
