Generally speaking, most convulsions occur in infants. It is recommended to pay attention to diet and maintain a good mood.

Sometimes, it may be accompanied by drooling, corner of the mouth twitching, apnea, bluish-purple complexion, and the duration of the attack exceeds 3 to 5 minutes. The attack may recur, sometimes even in a status of continuous convulsions. Neonatal convulsions are a common acute condition in children, especially infants. Frequent epilepsy attacks or persistent convulsive states can endanger the life of the child or cause severe sequelae, affecting the child's intellectual development and health.
