What disease is it when a child gets sick and their limbs become stiff and they roll their eyes?

Patient's question:

The child's eyes were dazed, with white eyes rolling and limbs stiff. It was sent at 4 PM that night. The child was less than 6 months old, but later improved and became normal. When I went to the hospital, they suggested it might be congenital epilepsy or genetic metabolism, but I know what to do. I need to go to a big hospital for a check-up, but I don't have the conditions.

Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition: The occurrence of symptoms such as limb stiffness in children is often due to high fever seizures after a cold with elevated body temperature. It could also be a result of epilepsy due to abnormal discharges in the child's brain.
Advice: It is recommended to take the child to seek timely correction, such as measuring body temperature and conducting a blood routine examination. If the high fever is the cause, prompt fever reduction treatment is necessary. If there is no high fever but the symptoms persist, an electroencephalogram (EEG) should be performed for dynamic monitoring. After a clear diagnosis is established, standardized treatment should be administered.
