Patient's question:
When having an attack, the whole body trembles. Shakes. My child is 11 years old. It has 2 or 3 attacks during the day. It has 3 or 4 attacks at night. During an attack, the back and right shoulder cramp, the arms are raised. The head shakes wildly, laughing "hehe." It lasts for about 10 seconds. Is this epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
The current description of your child is most likely epilepsy, specifically complex partial seizures.Recommendation: It is recommended that you take your child to a regular hospital's pediatric neurology department for examination. A video-EEG monitoring test should be performed to confirm the diagnosis, followed by timely treatment. We know that pediatric epilepsy has a significant impact on children. If it is not treated promptly or if the treatment method is incorrect, the condition can progress rapidly, causing great harm to the child. Therefore, parents should pay close attention to their child's condition and seek timely treatment.
