Patient's question:
My child is now 7 months old. On the 2nd of this month, he suddenly rolled his eyes, had a little drool, and his face and lips turned purple. His hands were clenched, and his feet were bent and tight. It lasted for about 20 seconds. I want to know if there are any instruments that can diagnose it without the child being sick.Doctor's answer:
First, it is important to determine whether the baby had a fever at the time, whether there were similar episodes in the past, and whether there is a family history of epilepsy. After ruling out factors such as fever and trauma, a dynamic EEG can be performed to confirm epilepsy. It is recommended to seek medical attention at a formal provincial hospital. 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 and bring great harm to young children. Therefore, parents should pay close attention to their child's condition and seek timely medical treatment.
