How to treat seizures in newborn brain edema and will there be sequelae

Patient's question:

The day after the child was born in the afternoon, it was discovered that the child was having convulsions, trembling arms, blinking, and bluish complexion. They were taken to the hospital (Shenyang, Shengjing Hospital) for emergency treatment, and blood and urine samples were sent to Beijing Children's Hospital for testing.

Doctor's answer:

Hello: Normal urine or blood tests in children only indicate that the tested condition is free of abnormalities, but they do not rule out other diseases. Such cases may still be possible with genetic metabolic diseases, or there could be abnormalities in the child's brain development. A history of infection during pregnancy or intrauterine hypoxia could also contribute to such symptoms.
Advice: If there is an issue with brain development, the child is likely to have sequelae, such as motor developmental delays or epilepsy. Regular medical check-ups for the child are recommended, and if there are delays in motor development, early rehabilitation treatment should be initiated.
