Patient's question:
From May this year, nodding again appeared, several times a day, sometimes good for a while, and sometimes crying with eyes rolling up. I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, and the doctor said it was a typical form of infantile spasms. He prescribed medication, which finally brought it under control. However, after catching a cold and having a fever, it recurred and has not been suppressed since. This cannot go on like this. What kind of help is needed: Can infantile spasms be cured?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, infantile spasms are often accompanied by symptoms of cerebral palsy, which is why I emphasize the importance of implementing comprehensive evaluation treatment as early as possible. Poor brain development can be alleviated through comprehensive evaluation treatment. If you are taking brain-enhancing oral medications, it is crucial to be cautious when taking antiepileptic drugs. The principle of antiepileptic drugs is to reduce neural excitability to suppress epilepsy, while brain-enhancing medications have a significant effect of increasing neural excitability. Therefore, many brain-enhancing medications carry a warning: "Stop use for epilepsy patients." Before taking such medications, it is essential to check the label, and for any unmarked medications, consult a doctor before use to avoid serious consequences.
