Patient's question:
My child is suffering from calcium deficiency or infantile spasms? Description of the problem: When my child was about six months old, one night he suddenly shrugged his right shoulder, then after a few seconds, he shrugged it again. That night, it happened about twenty times. Then, we took the child to the hospital. During the hospital stay, all kinds of tests were conducted, including urine and stool tests, blood tests, EEG, ECG, CT, and MRI, all of which were normal. However, it was found that the child had mild early rickets and calcium deficiency. During the hospital stay, similar symptoms also appeared. At that time, the attending physician was not present, and a on-duty doctor saw it and casually mentioned that it might be infantile spasms. When he shrugged his shoulders, his facial expression was otherwise normal, and heDoctor's answer:
Currently, both domestically and internationally, the treatment of epilepsy primarily relies on medication. After receiving standardized anti-epileptic drug treatment, approximately 70% of epilepsy patients can have their seizures controlled. Among these, about 50% to 60% of patients can be cured after 2 to 5 years of treatment.
