Patient's question:
My baby is now 11 years old. His father previously told my dad about it, and I'm also very worried that she might get epilepsy. So, I want to know if there are any preventive measures for babies? I also want to ask if babies with epilepsy can receive preventive vaccinations?Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy is not an infectious disease, so it cannot be prevented with vaccinations. Vaccinations are only for preventing infectious diseases. Babies may not necessarily develop epilepsy. They could be carriers of the epilepsy gene, which would not manifest under normal circumstances. Preventing negative mental impacts in daily life can help prevent further epilepsy episodes, which is beneficial for health and can help prevent the recurrence of various diseases.
