Patient's question:
Patient age: Six years old, suddenly fainted; Face full of oil; Unable to speak; Spitting clear water; The disease occurred when he had a cold at the age of two.Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy is a chronic disease characterized by sudden, abnormal discharges of brain neurons, leading to temporary dysfunction of the brain. Fever, excessive excitement, overhydration, hyperventilation, alcohol consumption, sleep deprivation, overexertion, and hunger can all trigger epilepsy recurrence.Recommendation: The incidence of epilepsy in children is relatively high, and it can have a serious impact on health, possibly related to excessive nervous excitement in children. In some cases, benign epilepsy in children can resolve on its own, but in others, epilepsy may be related to birth complications.
It is recommended that you take your child to the hospital for a comprehensive examination, including an electroencephalogram (EEG). Phenobarbital, phenytoin, carbamazepine, and sodium valproate are currently widely used first-line antiepileptic drugs. While treating epilepsy, it is important to identify the underlying cause and provide appropriate treatment.
Wishing your child good health!
