What should I do if a baby with infantile spasms leaves?

Patient's question:

My baby started getting sick when she was only six months old. Occasionally, she would space out, as if she wasn't in the best state, like an adult. What should I do if infantile spasms return?

Doctor's answer:

Mothers generally find that this infantile severe pain condition does not last for a particularly long time. It usually does not cause the child to experience breathing difficulties. However, it is best to promptly administer anticonvulsant medication to address the issue. Otherwise, it may lead to a situation where the child experiences a grand mal seizure. The earlier the treatment is administered, the better the outcome! Moreover, it often tends to cause intellectual damage.
