How to determine if a child has epilepsy

Patient's question:

At the beginning, the child would shake, drool, and cry loudly. How can you determine if the child has epilepsy?

Doctor's answer:

Your child has sudden convulsions, rolling back the eyes, and vomiting food, which lasts for several minutes and then subsides. This condition is a type of grand mal seizure. However, you need to understand a concept: epilepsy attacks are a symptom, not a diagnosis of the disease. If the cause of the epilepsy attack can be identified and the cause is removed, it is considered epilepsy with an underlying disease. If the epilepsy attacks occur without a reason, then through various targeted examinations, epilepsy can be diagnosed.
