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 pediatric epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
Generally, epilepsy is mainly caused by abnormal discharges of brain neurons in the human body. The main reason for the onset of this disease is the abnormal firing of neurons. Of course, some patients may also be related to genetic inheritance across generations and other traumatic factors. If you are not sure, it is best to do a genetic screening first to check if you have any relevant genes. Conditions such as intrauterine distress or intrauterine aspiration can lead to hypoxic brain edema in newborns, which can then result in epilepsy.
