Call your Health Care Provider if
Abnormal infant reflexes are usually discovered by the health care provider during exams performed for other reasons. The parents of an infant may be aware of the condition.
What to Expect at your Health Care Provider's Office
The health care provider will perform a physical examination and ask questions about the child's medical history.
Questions may include: - What reflexes were present?
- At what age did each infant reflex disappear?
- What other symptoms are also present? (For example, decreased alertness or seizures.)
