Patient's question:
My baby, but recently there have been convulsions, we don't know what medicine to use for the child, so we want to ask relevant people, what medicine should be used for convulsions in newborns?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of infantile myoclonic seizures is very complex. Even with medication alone, it requires more than several months, and at least two to three years are needed after control. Family members should be prepared for a long-term battle. Infantile myoclonic seizures are a refractory form of epilepsy encephalopathy. Neonatal convulsions, also known as tetany, are a common symptom during the neonatal period and can be caused by various diseases. The etiology is often due to organic brain damage, commonly seen in hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, birth injuries, intracranial hemorrhage, central nervous system infections, brain developmental malformations, congenital metabolic disorders, etc. It is often accompanied by impaired consciousness.
