Patient's question:
The child received the vaccine and had a severe reaction, then developed infantile spasms. What should we do now? I suspect that the vaccine may have caused this.Doctor's answer:
Infantile spasms are a special type of epilepsy that occurs during infancy. The causes are numerous, including birth injuries, congenital diseases, incomplete brain development, delayed brain development, brain atrophy, various encephalitis, meningitis, brain abscesses, cerebral schistosomiasis, poisoning, etc. It is crucial to take the child to a regular hospital pediatric department as soon as possible for standardized treatment.
