Patient's question:
Little girl, 4 years old, had a seizure due to high fever in 2010 and was diagnosed with febrile convulsions. Last year, she had another seizure triggered by high fever from tonsillitis, which was cured after anti-inflammatory treatment.Current condition: In April of this year, she had brief seizures during sleep twice, which were initially thought to be nightmares. The second time, while sleeping in a car, she had a continuous seizure for two minutes before waking up.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, this is a convulsion caused by a febrile seizure. If the epilepsy attack only occurs during fever, it cannot be diagnosed as epilepsy. You can go to the hospital to check an electroencephalogram for a definitive diagnosis. We know that pediatric epilepsy can cause significant harm to children. If it is not treated promptly or if the treatment method is incorrect, its progression is very rapid, and it can bring great harm to the patient. Therefore, parents should pay close attention to their child's condition and take them for treatment in a timely manner.
