Patient's question:
The daughter is just a week old, and the nurse brings her over to us every day. That night, I missed her and went to the infant care room to see her. She was sleeping soundly at first, but later I noticed she seemed to be having some twitching. Although it wasn't too severe, is twitching normal for newborns?Doctor's answer:
Newborns exhibiting symptoms of convulsions are abnormal. If it is confirmed that there are symptoms such as limb convulsions, it may be related to brain issues, or it could also be associated with high fever. It is important to promptly inform the doctor, follow their advice, undergo relevant examinations, and confirm the cause before implementing treatment. Give the child more warm water to drink and carefully monitor any changes in their condition. The above information can serve as a reference.
