Patient's question:
Doctor, my baby just turned 6 months old today. He's chubby and very cute. However, this morning when I was feeding him milk, he suddenly started twitching his thighs, which scared me terribly. What should I do when my baby twitches?Doctor's answer:
Neonatal convulsions are commonly seen in various diseases, such as low-grade fever, infections, and poisoning. Generally, neonatal twitching symptoms are often associated with cranial brain inflammation. It is crucial to identify the cause of the convulsions. Parents are advised to take the child to the hospital for follow-up examination promptly. Systematic and appropriate tests should be conducted to screen for the underlying cause. Targeted treatment should be administered, and self-medication should be strictly avoided to prevent missed opportunities in treatment and potential risks.
