Five-month-old child with occasional convulsions

The causes of occasional convulsions in five-month-old children mainly include the following: first, caused by the immaturity of the child’s brain development. Because five-month-old children are relatively young, some brain development is not yet perfect, and the control of the muscles around the body is relatively poor, there will be occasional convulsions. The convulsions are very mild at this time, and the child’s mental state and feeding situation are not affected. Second, the symptoms are caused by children with epilepsy. If the child has epilepsy, the brain will have abnormal discharge, which will cause occasional convulsions. This is the time to give the child a timely twenty-four-hour video EEG, if there are brain waves will appear epileptic waves, epileptic waves occur after the epilepsy can be diagnosed as epilepsy, the child should be given the application of sodium valproate, carbamazepine and other anti-seizure drugs. Severe calcium deficiency also looks to cause convulsions in babies.
