Patient's question:
My son is 8 years oldLast night while sleeping, he suddenly had convulsions and spasms with white foam in his mouth
He also had one episode 2 years ago
Is this epilepsy?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, it is recommended to undergo a brain CT scan to rule out brain lesions. Medications such as phenobarbital or sodium phenytoin can be taken for symptomatic treatment. Avoid spicy foods, and try to prevent fatigue and emotional excitement. It will gradually improve. We know that pediatric epilepsy can cause significant harm to children. If it is not treated in a timely manner or if the treatment method is incorrect, its progression can be very rapid, posing great harm to the child. Therefore, parents should pay close attention to the child's condition and take them for treatment promptly.
