Patient's question:
My male baby is four months and eight days old, weighing sixteen pounds three ounces and measuring 63 centimeters tall. Recently, for the past month, he keeps twitching after taking a nap and eating milk, but it stops when he lies flat! What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
From the perspective of growth and development, the condition appears normal. Regarding the specific issue of continuous twitching after feeding, does it involve unconsciousness with white eyes? Is there also choking, vomiting milk, or holding one's breath? Are there accompanying symptoms such as cyanosis or paleness?The first condition that should be ruled out is a seizure. However, seizures do not necessarily recur every time after feeding, nor do they resolve simply by lying flat. Therefore, please go to the hospital promptly for an electroencephalogram (EEG) to rule out epilepsy and determine the specific cause. Then, further discuss the necessary treatment.
