Patient's question:
Child, 1 year and 6 months old, has seizures, with pneumonia and fever causing them. The hospital conducted EEG, CT, and MRI tests, all of which were normal. They prescribed Keppra to take at home. After being at home for a month without having seizures, the child stopped taking Keppra. A few days ago, the child became a bit agitated and bumped their head, and then had a seizure that night. Now, after just starting Keppra for 2 days, they had 2 seizures in the afternoon.Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description of your baby's condition, the baby experienced twitching due to fever, and also due to a head collision. It is recommended to take your baby to a regular public hospital for a check-up to determine if it has triggered a recurrence of epilepsy. If so, medication treatment should be administered regularly. The above is the advice for the question "What's wrong with a 1-year-6-month-old child having seizures?" I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
