Patient's question:
My baby was diagnosed with infantile myoclonic epilepsy, and it is said to be benign. What is benign infantile myoclonic epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
Benign infantile myoclonic epilepsy is a common form of epilepsy in infants today. It primarily involves involuntary muscle or limb tremors, severe pain, and contractions that reappear after the child is born. If these episodes occur occasionally, no special treatment is needed. However, if they happen frequently, you can give the child oral antiepileptic medication to control them. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
