baby is is prescribed gardenal for prevention of convulsions. Baby was given meropenum that means she had bacterial infection.
Most of the neonates infected with CMV are asymptomatic while some may have serious problems like pneumonia, sepsis like syndrome, hepatitis, ventricular calcifications, poor neurodevelopmental outcome, auditory problems etc.
Antiviral medicine Ganciclovir may prevent neurodevelopmental and auditory (hearing) problems. You may ask your doctor for that.
Did baby suffered asphyxia during labour or was delivered by LSCS.
You may ask your doctor to do an EEG and other investigations for the cause of convulsions.
