Patient's question:
The baby is almost three months old. Since birth, it has been particularly prone to getting startled. Napping is also very light—sleeping while being held is okay, but as soon as it's put down, it wakes up. This month, however, the baby has occasionally started showing this symptom again: suddenly wide-eyed with a very sad expression, stiff body, lasting for about two or three seconds, followed by loud crying. I don't know what the reason is, and we have had MRI and CT scans done twice, but there were no issues. Below is the CT report from the second scan.Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, it is advisable not to rule out the possibility of epilepsy. It is recommended that you take your child to a regular hospital for a thorough EEG examination to identify the cause. After the diagnosis is confirmed, follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment to avoid delaying the condition. Pay attention to allowing your child to rest more and ensure sufficient sleep time, prevent all adverse impacts, and maintain emotional stability. Properly feed your child, actively digest vitamins and proteins, and have regular follow-up examinations at the hospital.
