Patient's question:
My mom hasn't been able to cook recently and often says she has a headache and feels dizzy. The key is that I don't really know what's going on, but I just see that she isn't doing well. Can a child with benign epilepsy stop taking medication after taking it for a year?Doctor's answer:
In your case, it could be epilepsy, which is a clinical phenomenon caused by abnormal and excessive hypersynchronous discharge of brain neurons. Its characteristics are sudden and transient convulsions or loss of consciousness. It is recommended to first undergo an electroencephalogram (EEG) test, and if necessary, use phenytoin sodium for treatment.This is a case of high fever convulsion, not epilepsy. If it were epilepsy, there would be no fever during convulsions; normal convulsions would occur as well.
Epilepsy is the result of abnormal discharges in the brain. If you are still concerned, you can go to the hospital for an EEG test to clarify the condition.
