Patient's question:
Hello, I was diagnosed with infantile spasms at eight months, but the medication has controlled it, and my EEG is normal. However, when I was two years old, I suddenly collapsed as if my left leg had no strength, and sometimes at night, my eyes would be wide open and I wouldn't breathe. We took it to the hospital, and the doctor gave me an injection, which resolved it. But just six days later, my leg has returned to its original condition. At the time, the doctor said that after the injection, this kind of thing wouldn't happen again, but now this is what's happening. What should we do? Will my leg recover? How likely is it to recover? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is recommended that you take your child to the hospital for a check-up to see what is causing the spastic symptoms. It is better to confirm the diagnosis before further treatment. We know that infantile spasms can cause significant harm to children. If they are not treated promptly or if the treatment methods are incorrect, the condition can progress rapidly, causing great harm to the patient. Therefore, it is important to seek professional medical treatment in a regular hospital. This is the key.
