Patient's question:
A 10-and-a-half-month-old girl suddenly became completely limp and unconscious. After a few minutes, she regained consciousness and was fine afterward, as if nothing had happened. This has happened three times. The first time was apparently caused by a fever, but the subsequent times occurred while she was playing. Her potassium levels were normal.Doctor's answer:
Hello, epilepsy diagnosis is very serious. To avoid incorrect diagnostic results, many aspects of examination are required, and each examination must be accurate and meticulous. The epilepsy examination includes the following items:1. EEG (Electroencephalogram) examination
2. Brain CT examination
3. Ambulatory EEG examination
4. MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) examination.
These examinations help determine which type of epilepsy symptoms you have. The symptoms of epilepsy are very complex. It is easy to misdiagnose without caution, so epilepsy patients should not be careless. The earlier epilepsy is treated, the better. Based on your description, your child's condition is not severe, and epilepsy can be completely controlled to prevent recurrence. Your child is still young, so it is best to use traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment, as Western medicine has side effects on children's health. TCM can use acupuncture and health preservation methods for regulation, which is more beneficial for your child's healthy growth.
