Patient's question:
Sure, I can help with that. Please provide the content you want to be translated into English.Doctor's answer:
Hello: In Western medicine, infantile spasms are mostly related to calcium deficiency. Calcium deficiency in children can lead to developmental delays, short stature, an increased risk of rickets, poor physical condition, and low immunity. Infants and young children can also experience developmental delays due to calcium deficiency. Calcium also affects the function of nerve and muscle junctions, and when calcium levels are too low, it can cause convulsions. Additionally, nitrazepam, prednisone, and topiramate are only symptomatic treatments. Prednisone can also cause calcium deficiency, creating a vicious cycle.Recommendations: Supplement with calcium while on medication.
1. Diet should be light, high in calcium, vitamins, fiber, and protein. Eat more vegetables and fruits, and drink plenty of water.
2. Massage and manual therapy.
