Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. When my son was eight months old, he got infantile spasms. In the past, our economy wasn't very good, and we couldn't even afford his formula, so it was better to avoid trouble. Was it serious when my child got infantile spasms at eight months?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, this child was diagnosed with infantile spasms at the age of eight months, which was quite early to detect. Infantile spasms are a relatively severe form of epilepsy syndrome in infants and young children. The treatment primarily involves corticosteroids. If detected earlier, the prognosis is still quite good. I recommend that you take her to a Grade III-A public hospital in your local area for admission to the pediatric neurology department for treatment.
