Can neonatal seizures be relieved?

Patient's question:

I don't know what caused it, but my daughter who is a week old had another episode of convulsions last night. She didn't have a fever, her hands and feet kept twitching, and her eyes were like fighting roosters, looking very frightening. You hit her several times. In this situation, can neonatal convulsions heal on their own?

Doctor's answer:

The cause of uveitis is unclear, and it tends to recur repeatedly. Because the cause is not well-defined, it cannot be relieved at the moment. It may be related to autoimmune diseases. It is recommended to visit the local rheumatology and immunology department for tests such as erythrocyte sedimentation rate to try to identify the cause. Then, treatment can be based on the identified cause. During recurrence, you may experience floating black spots in your vision, eye pain, and photophobia. It will be necessary to use corticosteroid medications and mydriatic drugs under the guidance of a doctor for treatment.
