You cant just subject an infant to such radiation. Op. It may not be epilepsy as you claimed unless it has been diagnosed by a neurological specialist. It might be a brain birth defect that may require surgery or some targeted medication. It's just unfortunate that Nig lacks medical professionals. Anyways seek first, second even third opinion. In my second post on this thread I posted medical advice from Epilepsy UKs website (up thread) A baby can have some scans done. |

She's having subtle seizures as well. Any first hand experience from anyone with homeopathic remedies for epilepsy? She had severe birth asphyxia which caused/causes her epilepsy. If the medications aren't effective enough, visit a paediatric neurologist to review her treatment plan.

She's having subtle seizures as well. Any first hand experience from anyone with homeopathic remedies for epilepsy? Please see a paediatric neurologist. First is to find the cause of it. They also need to assess her for milestones of child development. If she suffered a neurological injury during birth (starved of oxygen during a difficult birth, use of forceps or ventouse, etc), homeopathy cannot diagnose it let alone manage it. Many will suggest all kind of treatments BUT a child neurology consultant is the best qualified for it. Seek out one at a reputable teaching hospital. Avoid giving an infant medication or herbs anyhow. Her tender liver and kidneys could suffer greatly. 2 Likes 1 Share |

I feel your pain dear. I use to have a loved one with such a situation, but to God be the glory, he's picking up now. Drugs doesn't help much. Rather it stiffens their muscles. Physiotherapy will really help the baby. Start now. But one thing I know is that he will definitely out grow the seizures. |

However your baby is too young for any form of medications or remedies. It is safer to wait till she is a year and above before anything can be administered. Dosage is tricky at her age but at 1yr dosage can be measured. I have the remedy for her but from 1yr and above. You can contact me lets talk.

Papyk: Hi. I dont know weather her case might be different form Autistic son who usually had Epilepsy and sesure some years back, But this what we did and everything stop, by the way. he was around 5 - 7 years then. This was we used and since 2 years ago everything stop. We gave him teaspoon of epson salt and also codliver Oil every 2 days. And after it stop, we dont use it for him again. please check the google and youtube to see wheather you can use this for him or her considering his or her age. Trust me, if your son is truly epileptic, the convulsions WILL return. It may stay salient for years but he will show signs that you can't even notice or read meaning to. These are seizures in themselves. That is why you should visit an expert who can help you identify those signs and teach you how to detect them. He will need treatment too. But chances are that at 9yrs old, alot damage may have already been done. TAKE ACTION NOW. Autistic disorder is a different syndrome. It is a part of the autism spectrum disorders which are components of pervasive development disorder. It is not cured but managed. Visit the PAEDIATRIC NEUROLOGIST for more info. 1 Like |

Hmmmm Godmademan: unfortunately, the fact that the baby did not cry at birth is a strong pointer that something went wrong before or during delivery. The child should cry spontaneously without slapping. If you have to slap the child to cry, you should be worried.

Re: How Do I Help A Baby With Epilepsy? by sehin79(m): 5:46pm On Mar 28, 2019 |
what you have to do is too take your baby to see a specialist... and take recommended medication... and as much as you take it write down healing scriptures and declare them as you give this medication to your baby.. keep at this as long till you see improvement.. and note when you declare this scriptures declare it as I BELIEVE THAT ------ PUT YOUR BABYS NAMES THERE ---- IS TOTALLY CLEANSE OF ALL EPYILEPTIC EPISODE AND SEIZURES IN JESUS NAME.. do this along side as you take the medication and in not too distance futures all symptoms will clear and he should grow up a normal child. 1 Like |

Op, who prescribed the medications? If it's not a psychiatrist/neurologist, then you're not there yet. Ppl tend to be skeptical when I say this but if you've not been to a psychiatric hospital, plz visit one with the child, they also treat epilepsy, I know the one in Abeokuta has a child and adolescent department. You are not alone in this, and please do this as early as possible as more damage occurs with each seizure. Ignore all the homeopathic advice, ppl who try them all eventually take to medical treatment albeit a bit late. 1 Like |

Hmmm...
It may not be epilepsy. There's this thing that most kids have. We call it "giri" in Yoruba. Its also known as "eru". I think it's what is popularly known as convulsion.
If this is the case, there's one family in Ibadan that treats this effectively.
They make incisions on the child's hands, chest, and back and rub in locally made substance from pure herbs. And also tiny, almost invisible incisions on the face, which won't leave any mark.
If you are interested, I can link you.
I assure you it's purely medicinal and not fetish, but very very effective.

Re: How Do I Help A Baby With Epilepsy? by 15ssDRIVE(m): 6:12pm On Mar 28, 2019 |
theoldpretender:
Epilepsy in babies If a baby has epilepsy, it means they have had seizures. This information is about seizures in 2 groups of babies:
Babies under 1 month old (newborn or neonates) Babies between the age of 1 month and 1 year (infants) Seizures in babies under 1 month old (newborn or neonates) The brains of newborn babies are sensitive to seizures in the first week of life. Some babies will continue to have seizures as they get older, but some babies will never have any more. It really depends on:
The type of seizures they have Why they started When they started What types of seizures do newborn babies have? Subtle seizures – In babies, seizures might not be obvious to an onlooker. Their seizures may show as changes in breathing patterns or movements of their eyelids or lips. They may have bicycling movements of their legs, brief jerks or episodes of stiffening of their body and limbs. They might be less alert than usual. It might be difficult to attract their attention and their eyes may not focus properly.
Clonic seizures - the baby may have jerking or stiffening of an arm or leg that can switch from side to side.
Myoclonic seizures – the baby’s whole upper body may suddenly jerk forward. Or both their legs may jerk up towards their stomach, with their knees bent.
Tonic seizures – the baby’s body will stiffen and their eyelids might flicker.
Seizures in babies between the age of 1 month and 1 year (infants) What types of seizures do infants have? Clonic seizures - the baby may have jerking or stiffening of an arm or leg that can switch from side to side.
Infantile spasms - the baby may bend forward and their body, arms and legs go stiff. Or their arms and legs might be flung outwards. These seizures usually affect both sides of the body equally.
Myoclonic seizures – the baby’s head may appear to be nodding, or their whole upper body may suddenly jerk forward. Sometimes babies’ legs jerk up towards their stomach, with their knees bent.
Tonic seizures – the baby’s body will stiffen and their eyelids might flicker.
Focal seizures - the baby will stop what they are doing, and they won’t be aware of what is going on around them. They may stare, or move their eyes or head to one side. One side of their body might jerk, and this could change from one side to the other. The baby might go on to have a tonic-clonic (convulsive) seizure.
What causes seizures in newborn babies and infants? There are many causes of seizures in babies. In around 8 out of 10 babies with seizures, a cause will be found. These are the most common:
Being born very early, and having bleeding inside the brain. This is called intracranial haemorrhage Being born on time but having a lack of oxygen to the brain. This is called perinatal hypoxia and can cause an injury to the brain called ‘hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy’ Having low levels of glucose, calcium or sodium in the blood Having an infection such as meningitis or encephalitis Being born with some damage to their brain. This is called cerebral dysplasia or dysgenesis. Cerebral means relating to the brain. Dysplasia or dysgenesis means unusual development Inheriting a medical condition, such as benign neonatal convulsions or having a metabolic disorder such as GLUT 1 deficiency or a genetic disorder such as Dravet syndrome For around 2 or 3 in 10 babies, no cause is found.
How are seizures diagnosed in newborn babies and infants? It can be difficult to recognise seizures in babies and infants. That’s why it’s important that they are referred to a doctor who has had specialist training in diagnosing and treating epilepsy. The specialist will ask about:
The baby’s behaviour Whether all the seizures look the same, and last the same length of time Whether the seizures happen while the baby is awake or asleep, or both Whether the seizures are caused by changes in the baby’s posture or when they are doing different things Whether the seizures interfere with, or stop, the baby’s activities such as feeding Whether you can stop the seizures after they have started Recording any behaviour changes on a mobile phone could be very useful to show the specialist. It can help with making the diagnosis.
Epilepsy Action has more information about diagnosing epilepsy
The specialist may then arrange for some, or all, of the following tests.
Electroencephalogram (EEG) The baby’s brain is constantly producing tiny electrical signals. During an EEG test, electrodes (flat metal discs) are placed on their head. The electrodes pick up the electrical signals from their brain and record them on an EEG machine.
The EEG can give information about the electrical activity that is happening in your baby’s brain at the time of the test. Sometimes, but not always, it can be very helpful in showing whether a baby is actually having seizures, rather than abnormal movements. This is because the brains of babies are very different to the brains of older children, and not all of their seizures show up on the EEG. However, if the EEG is very abnormal, it will tell the doctors more about the baby’s epilepsy.
Epilepsy Action has more information about EEGs
CT scans (computed tomography) A CT scan is a type of X-ray that can show the physical structure of the brain. It doesn’t show if the baby has epilepsy. But it might show if there is anything in their brain, such as a scar, or damaged area, that could cause epilepsy. Not every baby will need to have a CT scan.
Epilepsy Action has more information about CT scans
MRI scans (magnetic resonance imaging) An MRI scanner uses radio waves and a magnetic field to show the physical structure of the brain. It’s more powerful than a CT scanner and has a higher chance of showing whether there is a cause for the baby’s epilepsy. Not every baby will need to have an MRI scan.
Epilepsy Action has more information about MRI scans
Blood tests Blood tests are used to check the baby’s general health, and to look for any medical conditions that might be causing their epilepsy. They can also be used to find out if the seizures are not caused by epilepsy, but another medical condition. An example would be low blood sugar (glucose) or low calcium levels.
Some babies will be referred to a genetics department for further testing. This will depend on a number of things, such as whether they have any other medical issues, and their family history. The referral will usually be made by the paediatrician or the paediatric neurologist.
Treatment There is a large range of epilepsy medicines used to treat seizures in babies. The choice of medicine will depend on:
The baby’s seizure type The age when the epilepsy began The cause of the epilepsy, if known Whether the baby has any other medical conditions, or takes any other medicines The likely outlook for their particular type of epilepsy Some of the epilepsy medicines used in babies include phenobarbital, phenytoin, clonazepam, carbamazepine, stiripentol, sodium valproate, levetiracetam, and vigabatrin. Pyridoxine (vitamin B6) is also sometimes used. An epilepsy specialist might also prescribe other epilepsy medicines, depending on the baby’s condition.
Epilepsy Action has more information about treating epilepsy
Long-term development The outlook for a baby’s long-term development depends on what type of epilepsy or epilepsy syndrome your baby has. Their epilepsy specialist will be in a better position to discuss your baby’s outlook once all the test results are available.

She must have had a very delayed birth because of delayed labour. Other complications might set in later like cerebral palsy. This is the best time to give her all the help in this world. Do this before she is three. Please see a paediatric neurologist. Neurologists are all you need right now. They may recommend Tergretol, Kepra and Mentat in addition to physiotherapy. Forget about so called churches. They are always on denial. The person telling you to go to their church, one of there pastor has a son who is asthmatic and they have refused to take the kid to hospital. All you need is the best of medical care. May God help you. It won't be easy at all. 1 Like |
