Patient's question:
Is it normal for a newborn to suddenly convulse in their sleep?Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Hello, friend, sudden convulsions during sleep in newborns are abnormal and may indicate brain damage. Intracranial hemorrhage cannot be ruled out.Advice: Hello, if the baby experienced hypoxia factors in the womb or during birth, such as nuchal cord, uterine inversion, or birth asphyxia, it could easily lead to brain damage and convulsions. It is recommended to undergo a cranial CT scan for a definitive diagnosis. If neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy is diagnosed, early treatment to nourish brain cells is necessary.
