Patient's question:
Medical Description: In April this year, I noticed my child having convulsions while sleeping. When I placed my hand on my child's legs and arms, I could feel the movements. Recently, when my child is asleep, I can visibly see the convulsions, and the intensity is significantly stronger than before.History of Treatment and Effects: An EEG was performed, which showed no abnormalities. Medication has been tried but has been ineffective.
Help Needed: I would like to know what causes my child's convulsions while sleeping, what tests should be done, and how to treat it.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the symptoms you described, it could be epilepsy. It is recommended to take your child to the hospital for further examination in a timely manner. The harm caused by epilepsy attacks should not be underestimated. If epilepsy is detected, it is important to seek treatment promptly. When treating epilepsy, it is crucial to choose a reputable and authoritative specialized hospital. Family members of patients should not seek medical treatment blindly, as doing so may miss the most appropriate treatment window and could potentially worsen the patient's condition. Finally, we wish you a speedy recovery. Consider undergoing tests such as a head CT, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), brain wave, and electroencephalogram (EEG). Actively pursue treatment. Wishing your baby healthy growth!
