Is it necessary to perform an electroencephalogram for neonatal convulsions?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, this condition can be considered as epilepsy. An electroencephalogram (EEG) test can help with diagnosis. The main symptoms include behavioral abnormalities, accompanied by convulsions, and in severe cases, loss of consciousness. Carbamazepine tablets can be used for treatment, and gamma knife treatment may be necessary if needed. Avoid spicy and irritating foods in daily life.
