Patient's question:
A few days ago, the baby had some heart fire! They vomited twice at night. After lunch, they were playing on an adult's lap. Suddenly, their eyes widened, their face and lips turned purple, and then they lost consciousness. They only woke up after the nurse pressed the center of their nose at the clinic. Was it because of phlegm aspiration or some other reason? They used to...Doctor's answer:
If there are abnormalities in the electroencephalogram, the baby has a higher likelihood of suffering from epilepsy. If the seizures recur repeatedly without a clear cause, it is considered primary epilepsy. If it is secondary to intracranial tumors, trauma, infections, parasitic diseases, cerebrovascular diseases, or systemic metabolic disorders, it is considered secondary epilepsy.Recommendation: It is recommended to undergo further diagnosis at a regular hospital, including an electroencephalogram, electroencephalographic topography, dynamic electroencephalogram monitoring, and a cranial CT scan. If the seizures are recurrent, antiepileptic drugs such as carbamazepine or sodium valproate should be taken under the guidance of a doctor. Treatment for epilepsy requires a systematic and standardized approach, and it is advised to strictly follow the doctor's medication recommendations.
Lifestyle Management: Pay attention to controlling emergency measures during daily life:
1. Western medicine anesthesia →（diazepam）10~20 mg, intravenous push, immediate control! However, it must be noted: the anesthetic speed must not exceed 2 mg/minute! If respiratory depression occurs, immediately stop the anesthesia!
2. Acupuncture → During recurrence, use 1~1.5-inch filiform needles to rapidly manipulate the "Neiguan" points on both arms. Control can be achieved shortly. Neiguan is located two inches above the transverse wrist crease, between the two tendons.
