Hello! Epilepsy, commonly known as "sheep wind," is a chronic brain disease characterized by recurrent, paroxysmal, and transient dysfunction of the central nervous system caused by abnormal discharges of brain neurons. Its symptoms are characterized by unpredictable sudden recurrent attacks, foaming at the mouth, convulsions of the limbs, and sudden falls to the ground. It can subside on its own, accompanied by brief loss of consciousness.Based on your description, it is possible that your child's symptoms could be epilepsy. It is recommended to take your child to a regular epilepsy hospital for examination. Once the cause is identified, treatment can be tailored accordingly. After all, the child is still young, and early detection and timely treatment are crucial. Please do not delay, as this could worsen the child's condition!
