What are the causes of infantile convulsions?
Is it dangerous?
What should be done?

Doctor's answer:

The causes of infantile convulsions are relatively complex. If this condition reappears shortly after birth, the first consideration should be whether it is due to hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy in the baby. If a patient exhibits symptoms of infantile convulsions, the first step is to use medications to stop severe pain, administer dehydration medications, and implement timely rescue measures. It is also important to conduct a head CT or MRI for a thorough examination to confirm the specific cause. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and good health!
