2 month old baby showing signs of convulsion, warning of what disease?

Ask
Hello doctor. My baby is 2 months old. The baby has the expression of hands, feet and mouth jerking continuously, eyes rolling up. These symptoms appear more and more often. I took her to an ultrasound but the doctor said it was normal, she was too young to measure EEG. The doctor asked the 2-month-old baby to show signs of convulsion, warning of what disease?

With the question “What disease does a 2-month-old baby show signs of convulsion? ”, the doctor would like to answer as follows:
The clinical manifestations of seizures are often sudden, transient and varied in symptoms, including movement disorders such as spasticity and/or convulsions, loss of movement active effects, loss of tone, increased salivation, palpitations, bed-wetting,.... Or sensory disturbances (pins and needles, blurred vision, tinnitus, dizziness, sensation). such as electric currents,...), mental disorders (anxiety, fear, memory disorders, hallucinations, mental retardation, behavioral disturbances...).
To accurately identify epilepsy in children, the patient needs to perform tests such as: Blood count, liver function, blood sugar, electrolytes, blood calcium, EEG with specific waves of the seizures, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). With your child's case, you should take your child to see a neurologist for examination and advice.
