Patient's question:
The baby is eight months old. An electroencephalogram diagnosis indicated epilepsy, and an MRI showed underdeveloped brain development. The doctor said the child could die suddenly at any time. Even if the child recovers, they will not be able to live independently in the future. Is it really that serious? Will the child not be able to live a normal life if they survive?Doctor's answer:
The epilepsy of the baby is a disease caused by incomplete brain development, often manifesting as impaired consciousness, limb convulsions, foaming at the mouth, and other symptoms. Sometimes the symptoms are atypical, such as the inability to sit or stand, which affects normal life.Advice: It is necessary to seek medical attention early for a thorough examination to determine the severity. Antiepileptic drug treatment, such as sodium valproate syrup, should be used, and mental stimulation should be avoided.
