Patient's question:
Brother's baby is only three months old. Previously, the baby was very healthy, but now it has been found that the baby occasionally has, and even foams at the mouth. It's really scary, and we are very worried. There is no one in the family who has had epilepsy. We don't know what the factor or cause is, so we came for consultation.Doctor's answer:
Hello, infantile spasms occur from a few days after birth to 30 months, with the peak onset before 6 months of age. Since infants spend most of their time in bed or swaddled, and young mothers lack experience in childcare, they may easily overlook the recurrence of symptoms, mistaking them for hunger, wet diapers, or discomfort in the head and neck. Based on the current situation you described, epilepsy is highly likely. It is recommended to seek timely examination and treatment.
