Patient's question:
Doctor, the baby is one and a half years old now. Recently, he always wakes up suddenly from sleep and then starts crying. Then he points to a certain place, wondering what's happening? Some people say this symptom is a bit like epilepsy, and I'm so scared it might be. When he was a baby, at one month old, he had brain hypoxia, which was treated and cured. At four to five months, brain and MRI were done, and they all said everything was fine. Also, sometimes at night when he's sleeping, his hands and feet tremble or twitch, I don't know what's going on with that.Doctor's answer:
This should first be considered as caused by low calcium, and then quickly consider other brain problems. It is recommended to check serum calcium. If it is low, standardized supplementary treatment should be given. If it is not low, it is recommended to review an electroencephalogram.
