Patient's question:
Hello, the hospital initially suspects that the 1-year-old child has epilepsy. What should I do? The doctor said to go home and wait for the child to have a purple episode and then go to the hospital for examination.Doctor's answer:
This is not ruled out. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a detailed examination to confirm the diagnosis. Epilepsy is a chronic, recurrent syndrome of transient brain dysfunction characterized by abnormal discharges of brain neurons, leading to recurrent seizures. Epilepsy is one of the common neurological diseases, with a prevalence rate second only to stroke. The treatment of epilepsy can be divided into five aspects: controlling seizures, etiological treatment, surgical treatment, general hygiene, and prevention. Among these, controlling seizures is the most important, and currently, drug therapy is the main approach. It is recommended that the patient go to the hospital for examination and treatment.
