Patient's question:
I have a distant relative. Because their family has an only child, they are very precious about their son. They pamper him terribly in their daily lives. But recently, they discovered that their precious son suddenly had a seizure while playing. He would suddenly fall to the ground, staring blankly ahead with his hands clenched tightly and his teeth clenched firmly. It lasted for about 2 or 3 minutes, which was quite frightening.What are the factors that can cause a child to have a seizure?
Doctor's answer:
Childhood epilepsy is a common disease in infants and young children, with an incidence rate 10 to 15 times higher than that of adults. This is because the brains of infants and young children are not fully developed, and even minor impacts can cause abnormal discharges of neurons in the brain, leading to epilepsy. The first consideration should be calcium deficiency!! Go see a doctor quickly, have a thorough examination, and check if it is due to calcium deficiency. There are many reasons for children's twitching. There are many causes of childhood epilepsy, with common ones being high fever, especially in children aged 2 to 3 who are more prone to epilepsy during fevers.
