Patient's question:
What are the effects of pregnant women eating traditional Chinese medicine for nausea in the first three months of pregnancy on the baby? Will it cause infantile spasms? Will there be any effects of eating porridge containing baking soda during pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
The diagnosis of infantile spasms involves three key points: the characteristic nodding-type seizures, clinical intellectual developmental delay (or retardation), and the presence of hypsarrhythmia on electroencephalogram (EEG). Directly, this refers to the antiepileptic regimen you are currently taking. Therefore, it is necessary to continue medication to control epilepsy and regularly undergo follow-up examinations, including EEG, liver and kidney function tests, blood tests, and intelligence tests, to monitor the control of epilepsy and the side effects of the medication. Additionally, it is important to regularly receive guidance and advice on medication and care. Only in this way may this specific type of epilepsy achieve stable control.
