Is an EEG necessary for a 5-year-old child with epilepsy?

Patient's question:

Hello Dr., my child has been preliminarily diagnosed with epilepsy. I would like to come to your hospital for treatment. I wonder when the earliest EEG appointment is available. Since I am from out of town, could you please help me?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, there aren't many patients at hospitals who need an electroencephalogram (EEG) test, so no appointment is required. You can just go for the test during working hours.
Advice: Go to the cardiology department to register, specify that you need an EEG test, and the doctor will give you a test slip for payment.
We know that pediatric epilepsy can cause significant harm to children. If it is not treated promptly or if the treatment method is incorrect, it can progress rapidly, bringing great harm to the child. Therefore, it is crucial to seek professional medical treatment at a specialized hospital in a timely manner. This is the key.
