Patient's question:
The child's toes can move slightly and quickly in the morning, but the whole body feels numb. When taken to the hospital for a thorough examination, the results show a normal brain CT. On the third day, the feet can also move slightly and quickly, allowing the buttocks and hips to react. Experts, how optimistic is the situation? Will it collapse? Are the symptoms of pediatric epilepsy cyclical? What kind of help is needed: Are the symptoms of pediatric epilepsy cyclical? How optimistic is the situation?Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy typically exhibits characteristic symptoms during episodes. In terms of the interval between recurrences, the condition may go without a recurrence for two years, or it may involve numerous recurrences within a short period, sometimes daily. The duration of an epilepsy attack is not well-defined, so it is also necessary to determine the frequency of children's epilepsy attacks based on the patient's basic condition. Regarding the duration of recurrences, brief attacks may last only a few seconds or minutes, while prolonged attacks can persist for several hours. From the perspective of the interval between recurrences, the longest may involve a recurrence every two years, while the shortest may involve daily recurrences, or even many times a day. Patients can try to imagine a calm state of mind, allowing themselves to relax, which also has a good effect on preventing epilepsy.
