Patient's question:
My baby is eight months old. He accidentally fell off the bed at night. There were no abnormalities at the time, but a few days later, he started experiencing short-term convulsions. The symptoms include: tight, limbs, lasting only one or two seconds. An EEG was normal. There were no abnormalities yesterday, but the symptoms reappeared today, accompanied by, face turning red, lasting for about three seconds.Doctor's answer:
The brain tissue in infants is fragile and not sturdy. It may cause brain damage due to external force collisions. If the baby shows poor mental state, lethargy, poor appetite, restlessness, or even convulsions, it is essential to be alert to the possibility of cranial brain injury. In this case, it is recommended to take the child to the hospital for a cranial CT scan to rule out organic lesions. During this period, closely observe the child for symptoms such as headache or vomiting.
