Patient's question:
The baby was only born yesterday morning. At first, there were no further issues after a careful examination, but in the afternoon today, I noticed the baby had another seizure. I'm very worried about what might happen next and want to understand how it's treated to put my mind at ease. How is it treated for a newborn to have seizures?Doctor's answer:
If the baby experiences another episode of convulsions, parents should first lay the child flat because convulsions often lead to vomiting. Then, turn the baby's head to one side and first remove the honey-like substance vomited out. Sometimes, the child may bite their tongue during convulsions, and parents must first place something in the child's mouth to prevent tongue-biting. This ensures the child's breathing remains unobstructed. If the child's condition worsens, it is necessary to take them to the hospital for medical attention.
