Patient's question:
At midnight, I was admitted to the hospital due to sudden redness in my face, purple lips, and muscle tension all over my body for diagnosis. A dynamic EEG diagnosed moderate abnormal brain waves in a newborn, with 17 abnormal wave emissions within 18.5 hours. After taking phenobarbital, a dynamic EEG was repeated, and the EEG results were normal. On April 26, an MRI showed no abnormalities.Doctor's answer:
1 The child's age of onset is too young, so it is not easy to diagnose benign seizures.2 It might still be due to the medication.
3 Currently, it is not recommended to stop the medication. We need to dynamically observe the child and changes in the EEG. However, it is important to pay attention to the side effects of phenobarbital, especially allergies and liver function.
