Patient's question:
The child is about to turn 4 years old. In the past few months, there have been occasional episodes of night terrors. They usually go to sleep around 9 p.m., but around 11 p.m., they suddenly sit up, look vacant, speak incoherently, clutch their hands tightly, sweat profusely, and have convulsions, which last for about 3 minutes. Afterward, they fall into a deep sleep, and everything returns to normal by the next morning. Recently, these episodes have become more frequent, occurring almost every night. It’s feared that this may be an early symptom of epilepsy.Doctor's answer:
Hello, your child's condition may be caused by epilepsy, and it is still curable. Generally, medication can be used, with common options including phenytoin, carbamazepine, and clonazepam. You can also choose traditional Chinese medicine Tianxiadan for treatment. If the medication is not effective, surgery may still be necessary.
