Patient's question:
The baby is now three weeks and one month old. There have been a total of four seizures. The first one occurred at one week and two days: the baby had one seizure and recovered on its own without treatment. The second one was at two weeks and one day, due to a viral infection. The baby had three seizures within a few hours without seeking medical attention (the temperature was consistently above 39°C). The third one was at two weeks and a half: the baby had one seizure and immediately sought medical attention. The fourth one was at three weeks and one day: the baby had two seizures. The first seizure was not very noticeable, and the baby did not receive anticonvulsant medication. After about eight to nine hours, the temperature rose to above 39°C again, leading to another seizure. Each time the baby had a seizure, the temperature was above 39°C. After the fever subsided, the baby was in a good mental state. Can this condition heal on its own?Doctor's answer:
Based on the child's medical history, it is suspected that the baby may experience another seizure, and each episode is more than once. There is a higher possibility of complex febrile seizures, and it is recommended to perform an electroencephalogram (EEG) to rule out epilepsy. Additionally, the baby's condition may be due to low immunity, so it is essential to pay close attention and monitor closely. If necessary, the baby should be taken to the hospital for laboratory tests to check trace elements and EEG. Daily care should be strengthened, and immunity should be boosted by supplementing with calcium and zinc to enhance nutrition.
