Patient's question:
When my baby was born, because my water broke but I didn't feel any abdominal pain, I didn't go to the hospital for delivery. This led to my baby suffering from hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy at birth. At first, neither of us noticed anything, we just thought he was very noisy and woke up quickly at night. During the day, he cried and didn't sleep. Later, when we noticed him having, we took him to the hospital.What kind of help do you need: What should be paid attention to when caring for infant epilepsy?
Doctor's answer:
This condition only recurs during infancy and is one of two relatively common types of epilepsy. The age at which children first experience an episode typically ranges from 0 to 13 years, with the highest incidence occurring between 5 and 10 years. Boys are slightly more likely to experience episodes than girls. The timing of recurrence is closely related to deep sleep, often occurring shortly after the child falls asleep or just before waking up in the morning. Sometimes, episodes can also occur during a nap. In very rare cases, episodes may even occur when the child is awake during the day. Since this condition never causes structural changes in the brain, and CT and MRI scans remain normal, it is considered benign infantile epilepsy. After developing the condition, a child's intellectual and developmental growth is not affected, and some children perform very well academically.
