Is an electroencephalogram accurate for newborns?

Patient's question:

Please ask: Is it possible for a newborn's brain to show the following situation during an EEG: the brain itself is fine, but the EEG shows problems? (My child had some issues with the EEG when they were 4 days old, and the doctor said it might indicate potential intellectual problems, but my observations over the past few days are: they are quite smart and quite clever.)

Doctor's answer:

What are the specific results of the check? Whether you are a toddler or a child, an electroencephalogram (EEG) needs to be fixed with special glue. However, it will not cause brain damage or other harm to the child. Because EEG is allowed with parental accompaniment. So parents need to tell the baby to cooperate with the doctor. Generally, the baby will behave well. Mainly tell him it doesn't hurt. Let him not be afraid, etc.
