What are the reasons that cause infant epilepsy

Patient's question:

The child has seizures every time they have a fever and has undergone a 24-hour EEG, which the doctor says indicates epilepsy. They don't have seizures when they don't have a fever. Does this mean the child has epilepsy? Is it treatable? What causes the child's epilepsy? What kind of help is needed: What causes the child's epilepsy

Doctor's answer:

Many factors can trigger epilepsy seizures, so please pay close attention and conduct timely and thorough checks.
1. Inappropriate medication use: Whether it is idiopathic epilepsy or symptomatic epilepsy, abruptly stopping medication or arbitrarily switching to a new anticonvulsant drug during treatment can easily lead to the recurrence of status epilepticus.
2. Other diseases causing it: This is mainly due to toxic encephalopathy caused by infections, such as common cold with fever, pneumonia, sepsis, dysentery, urinary tract infections, etc., leading to persistent states; it is also common due to conditions like traumatic brain injury, brain tumors, and cerebrovascular diseases, which are among the causes of recurrent epilepsy.
