Patient's question:
Fever-induced convulsions, is this epilepsy? This is a 6-year-old boy. He has had convulsions before, but they were just like his mouth being, not too severe. Those times, he had them while sleeping, and they lasted for a very short time.Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: The child is experiencing seizures, and epilepsy is not ruled out. It is best to conduct an electroencephalogram (EEG) to confirm the diagnosis. If the child has irregular seizures, an ambulatory EEG can be used for continuous monitoring to observe the brain cell discharge activity at different times over a long period!It is recommended that you take the child to the hospital for an EEG examination. After a clear diagnosis, appropriate antiepileptic medication can be prescribed to reduce seizure frequency and avoid abnormal situations!
