Patient's question:
Half a year oldDetailed medical history and purpose of consultation: My son is currently two years and six months old. At one year, he suddenly lost consciousness during a fever and only recovered after being pinched on the nose and mouth. After being hospitalized for treatment, he was discharged, with the doctor merely stating that the fever caused it. However, just a few days ago, while riding a small bicycle alone in the living room, he said, "The baby fell down," and then lay unconscious on the ground, with some oral mucus around his mouth. Pinching his nose and mouth had no effect, but pinching his palm finally brought him back to consciousness. The doctor again attributed it to a fever, but he had shown no signs of fever beforehand. Now the child is already fine.
Doctor's answer:
Based on these symptoms, it is suspected to be epilepsy. Before an epilepsy attack, there may be sudden screaming, loss of consciousness, falling down, rolling back of the eyes or strabismus, foaming at the mouth, jaw clenching, and generalized convulsions. During the attack, there may be twitching of the face or a single limb, turning the head, eyes, or body to one side, raising the hand to the outside upper side, and motor aphasia. Currently, there are many methods for treating epilepsy. During the course of treatment, patients should also receive symptomatic treatment. It is recommended to seek medical examination and treatment at a regular professional hospital as soon as possible.
