Patient's question:
A 6-month-old baby cannot lift their head, can roll over, has a normal appetite, and shows no significant abnormalities, but sometimes they experience tremors. What are the causes of neonatal convulsions?Doctor's answer:
If there is frequent occurrence of obvious limb convulsions, muscle spasms, and forceful movements in newborns, even to the extent of foaming at the mouth, it should be considered a neurological disease, commonly caused by epilepsy. It is recommended to conduct further detailed electroencephalogram (EEG) and cranial CT scans for confirmation. Epilepsy does not necessarily have a clear family history, and after diagnosis, early medication intervention is required to prevent severe cases from causing the tongue to fall downward, potentially affecting life safety.
