Patient's question:
A child playing basketball suddenly fainted. His whole body became stiff, and he only woke up after an hour. He had two episodes last year. Within two months.Doctor's answer:
From your description of the symptoms, this could be a manifestation of epilepsy. Generally, it is caused by abnormal discharges of brain neurons, leading to sudden fainting, weakness in limbs, stiffness in the body, foaming at the mouth, and other symptoms.You should consider getting a brain CT scan and an electroencephalogram (EEG) examination. If it is epilepsy, antiepileptic drugs can be taken for treatment. Long-term medication is necessary to achieve control and prevent recurrence.
