Patient's question:
Mother had signs of miscarriage in the early stages of pregnancy, but after taking medication and receiving injections, the fetus was saved. When the baby was one month old, during feeding, it was noticed that the baby had twitching around the mouth, without any fever. Now the child is 1.5 years old, and no twitching has been observed again. Is this epilepsy? Is it necessary to go to the hospital for an examination?Treatment history and effectiveness: No treatment has been administered.
