What is infantile spasms?

Patient's question:

Sister just had a baby, a cesarean birth. It's been a short while since the baby turned one month old. She doesn't know why the child had a fever in the middle of the night. Previously, there were no symptoms of a cold. Later, she accidentally noticed that the child seemed to be having convulsions. The doctor said it was spasms. Now they are very worried and don't know what the problem is.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, for your situation, it is recommended that you take your child to the hospital for examination as soon as possible to avoid delaying the condition and missing the best treatment opportunity. Infantile spasms are caused by factors or etiologies such as dysfunction of the brainstem monoamine neurotransmitter system, structural disorders of brainstem neurons, and abnormal immune system function.
