Patient's question:
Hello, my child has epilepsy, and they have been having seizures recently. I want to ask, what are petit mal seizures, and how should they be handled?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description of eye staring and neck stiffness, it should be considered a calcium deficiency, but be alert to convulsions or petit mal seizures. It is recommended to go to a hospital with Level 3A or higher facilities for further examination, including an electroencephalogram (EEG) and brain CT or MRI to rule out brain abnormalities. If everything is normal, calcium supplementation treatment is advised. This is the advice for the question "A 38-day-old infant sometimes suddenly pouts," and I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
