Patient's question:
My son had a seizure on the third day after birth. We took him to the children's hospital for comprehensive examinations and stayed there for six days, but they found no problems. During the hospital stay, he didn't have any seizures. Now, it has been six days since he returned home, and he has had two seizures—once on the previous day at noon, lasting about two seconds, and another today at noon, lasting about ten seconds.Doctor's answer:
Medical Analysis: A one-month-old child has recurrent seizures, which may be indicative of epilepsy. It is best to undergo an electroencephalogram (EEG) to confirm the diagnosis and observe whether there are spikes during the seizures, as well as to preliminarily determine the focus of epilepsy.Advice: It is recommended that you take your child to the hospital for a long-term monitoring EEG. Additionally, it is important to inquire whether the child experienced a difficult birth during delivery. If there is a history of difficult labor, it may be possible that the seizures are secondary epilepsy caused by brain damage. It is crucial to confirm the diagnosis as soon as possible to prevent repeated seizures from causing further neurological damage to the child's brain.
