Infantile spasms

Patient's question:

Here is the English translation of the provided text, with the return characters kept as they are:
On the 14th day currently, under normal circumstances: I have seizures when being held, and it's very ordinary.
Duration of this episode and its persistence: 5-10 seconds.
Medical history: At 40 days, I was suspected of having epilepsy and diagnosed at a children's hospital. Blood tests, electrocardiograms, routine EEGs, CT scans, and X-rays were all normal. I was given IV fluids for 7 days without recurrence, then discharged. Prescribed five-vitamin lysine and multi-calcium, took them for 20 days without any seizures, so stopped taking those two. Maybe it's been 5 days now, and today the seizure symptoms reappeared. I don't know what factor or cause it is—could it be epilepsy?
Other: Only when being held do I have seizures; I don't have them when lying or sitting in bed. It seems like it's self-induced.

Doctor's answer:

Your condition may be caused by a lack of calcium. It is recommended to supplement with calcium. Yogurt is also a very good food for calcium supplementation. It not only provides calcium but also contains beneficial bacteria that can regulate intestinal function, making it suitable for all types of people.
