Is it normal for a baby to have neck twitching when they urinate?

Patient's question:

My mom hasn't been able to cook recently and often says she feels dizzy and has a headache. The key is that I don't really know what's going on, but she just seems a bit unwell. Is it normal for a baby to have neck spasms when they urinate?

Doctor's answer:

In your case, it 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) test, and if necessary, use phenytoin sodium for treatment. Based on the symptoms you described, it is likely that the manifestations are caused by epilepsy, primarily due to abnormal brain nerve activity. Treatment should involve antiepileptic drugs, such as carbamazepine and phenobarbital.
