Question
Why does a 11-month-old baby stretch out their arms and twist their neck while smiling?
Answer
A 36-year-old adult recently experienced discomfort, sometimes feeling dizzy during the day, which affected their work, and had difficulty sleeping at night with poor response to medication. They asked about an 11-month-old baby who stretches out their arms and twists their neck while smiling, suggesting it might be a symptom of epilepsy, a clinical phenomenon of abnormal neuronal discharge in the brain. It is recommended to undergo an electroencephalogram and, if necessary, use phenytoin sodium treatment. The causes of fever in infants can be divided into infectious and non-infectious. Infectious fever may be caused by various acute infectious diseases (such as measles, scarlet fever, chickenpox, etc.) or respiratory and urinary tract infections. Non-infectious fever may be caused by connective tissue diseases, dehydration, drug fever, heat syndrome, or other diseases such as tumors and leukemia.
