Patient's question:
Can severe calcium deficiency in babies cause infant epilepsy? Because the baby has been shaking his head rapidly from side to side recently.Doctor's answer:
Patient is 1 year old, calcium deficiency can lead to increased neuromuscular excitability, which may cause hypocalcemic tetany. It generally does not cause epilepsy. Epilepsy of the ear is caused by abnormal discharges in the brain, but infantile spasms may develop into epilepsy in some cases.Recommendation: Go to the hospital to check blood biochemistry, blood calcium, blood magnesium, etc., to confirm the diagnosis and provide targeted treatment.
