Why does the baby tilt their head back and cry at five months?

Patient's question:

I am 36 years old this year, and recently I have been feeling unwell. During the day, I sometimes feel dizzy, and it has affected my work. At night, I can't sleep, and the medicine I took doesn't seem to work well. Why is it that at five months, the baby arches his head back and screams?

Doctor's answer:

Your condition may be epilepsy, which refers to a clinical phenomenon caused by abnormal and excessive hypersynchronous discharge of brain neurons. Its characteristics are sudden and transient convulsions or loss of consciousness. It is recommended to first undergo an electroencephalogram (EEG) examination and, if necessary, use phenytoin sodium for treatment. Hello, this condition can generally be treated surgically, with scientific selection based on surgical indications. Some cases may not necessarily be suitable for surgery. The specific situation depends on the hospital's examination results.
