Can neonatal seizures be cured, and what to do about neonatal seizures

Hello! Neonatal seizures may be caused by abnormal electrical discharges from the central nervous system, and the specific symptoms are abnormal movements of the child's face, mouth, and tongue. For example, the baby's eyelids flutter, repeated blinking, and some children will have facial muscle twitching, chewing, mouth sucking, pouting, tongue sticking out, swallowing, yawning, etc.

There are also abnormal movements in the eyes, such as staring at one in the opposite direction, or turning the eyeballs upward, shaking the eyeballs, etc. Children may also have abnormal movements of their limbs, such as involuntary swinging of the upper limbs, movements such as drumming or swimming, and often stepping or bicycle-like movements of the lower limbs. In addition, some children may also have symptoms of autonomic seizures, such as apnea, breath-holding, unusually fast or slow breathing, increased blood pressure, redness or pallor of the face, salivation, sweating, and dilated or narrowed pupils.

During the examination, the EEG of the child is often abnormal in the background waves, which is manifested by low amplitude and burst inhibition, and if such symptoms appear, they need to be checked and **. Wishing you good health!

The most common cause of convulsions in nine-month-old babies is febrile seizures caused by fever, followed by epilepsy, and again due to intracranial infection, often accompanied by other uncomfortable symptoms, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time, if necessary, it is necessary to improve the CT and electroencephalogram of the head, and the relevant examination of cerebrospinal fluid to clarify the specific cause, in case of serious diseases or the possibility of serious complications, pay attention to observe whether it occurs again.

1. Inquire about the mother's health and medication history during pregnancy, whether there is a family history of epilepsy, which is helpful to understand whether there are convulsions caused by congenital or hereditary diseases; Secondly, it is extremely important to understand the perinatal situation, whether there are pregnancy-induced hypertension symptoms, whether there is intrauterine distress and birth asphyxia, and to determine whether there is perinatal intracranial injury. The time of seizure onset has certain significance for the differential diagnosis, and the occurrence of convulsion within 2 3 days after birth should be considered to be caused by perinatal asphyxia, birth trauma, hypoglycemia or hypocalcemia, and purulent meningitis and sepsis are more common after 1 week.

2. Small-for-gestational-age infants and preterm infants are prone to hypoglycemia, post-term infants are more prone to hypoxic brain injury, and macrosomia infants are prone to head injury. Intrauterine viral infection should be considered in patients with jaundice, rash, and hepatosplenomegaly immediately after birth. Organic lesions of the nervous system often present with impaired consciousness, changes in muscle tone, and decreased or absent primitive reflexes, while those with metabolic abnormalities do not have such neurological symptoms.

3. The concomitant symptoms between convulsive episodes have reference significance for differential diagnosis. Those who are generally well at the time of seizures are hypocalcemia; Hypoglycemia should be considered in pallor, hypotonia, hyporesponsiveness, and in small-for-gestational-age or preterm infants; The presence of staring, cerebral screaming, and bulging bregma suggests an intracranial organic lesion. Convulsions occur on the basis of symptoms of physical infection, and purulent meningitis is often considered; Recurrent seizures are not only unfound, but may be congenital metabolic diseases.

4. For convulsions caused by bacterial infection, adequate antibiotics should be used to control the infection; For patients with metabolic diseases, blood glucose, calcium, magnesium, and sodium should be corrected; For patients with abnormal metabolism of benzoic acid, the content of this amino acid in food should be limited; Vitamin B6 dependent shocks require long-term vitamin B6 use; Tetanus antitoxin is used for neonatal tetanus to neutralize free toxins.

Causes and symptoms of convulsions in childrenPediatric convulsions are caused by cerebral dysfunction due to a variety of reasons, and are manifested as sudden general or local muscle rigidity, or spasmodic convulsions, often accompanied by impaired consciousness. The incidence of convulsions in children is relatively high, 5%-6% of children have had one or more convulsions, frequent seizures, or persistent state is life-threatening, which may leave children with serious sequelae and affect children's intellectual development and health.

Several common diseases that cause convulsions include febrile seizures, intracranial infection, toxic encephalopathy, infantile spasms, hypoglycemia, hypomagnesemia, poisoning, and hypocalcemia. In older children, toxic encephalopathy, intracranial infection, epilepsy, and poisoning are more common; In general, intracranial infections, tetany, and infantile spasms are common in infancy and early childhoodSometimes, it is necessary to note defects in brain development, sequelae of brain damage, drug intoxication, hypoglycemia.

The rate of convulsions in children is very high, as long as you seek medical attention in time at the right time and take medication according to the doctor's guidance, the rate of convulsions can reach more than 97%. However, it is also possible that this disease will appear in the future. Convulsive patients who no longer have seizures after a certain period of regular and systematic medication** can generally reduce the drug to stop the drug.

If there is no seizure within three years after stopping the drug, it can be recognized as **. After the nervous system**, most people do not have seizures again, but not everyone does not have seizures again. Therefore, patients should not be blindly optimistic, and should be alert to the possibility of seizures.

It is best to take rest to prevent any triggers, such as respiratory infections and colds.

For the question of whether children have convulsions, it depends on the child's own physique and whether the parents have taken care of it. Even if the child is completely **** with the help of a doctor, it is possible to develop**. It's just that the probability of this ** is relatively low, and some children are relatively weak, and the probability of ** is relatively high.

The methods of pediatric convulsions include: 1. General**, including lying on the child's side during convulsionsPrevent aspiration of secretions from the mouth into the lungs, causing aspiration pneumonia, and take care to avoid touching sharp or hard objects during limb movement, causing secondary injury.

2. For symptomatic **, it is necessary to stop convulsions with psychiatric drugs such as diazepam; 3. For the cause, according to the blood test results or the symptoms of physical examination, the cause can be carried out, such as antibiotics and other anti-infective drugs can be usedElectrolyte disorders can be corrected, glucose is used for hypoglycemia, and calcium is supplemented for hypocalcium.

Childhood seizures can be cured if they are treated in the early stages. Childhood seizures are most common in two conditions: the first case, epilepsy, after early reasonable **, there are data that more than 90% of children have seizures that can be completely controlled or mostly controlled, so parents should build confidence.

The rational use of anti-epileptic drugs is the main means of epilepsy, and long-term regular medication to ensure a stable blood concentration in children with epilepsy is good. In the second case, febrile seizures, if the seizures are triggered every time there is a high fever, it is likely to be a febrile seizure, and the prognosis of children with febrile seizures is very good, and most children will not have seizures again after the age of six.

Febrile convulsions, leaving almost no sequelae.

The most common cause is hyperthermia, which causes febrile seizures, and it is also possible that there are some genetic epilepsy disorders that can also cause epilepsy. If it is a convulsion caused by a high fever, it can be ** good.
