Sudden twitching and foaming at the mouth—could it be childhood epilepsy?

Patient's question:

My baby suddenly had a seizure this morning and also foamed at the mouth for a few minutes, then it stopped. I'm very worried that he might have infantile epilepsy.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on the symptoms and manifestations described by the patient, as well as the examination results, it is not ruled out that it could be epilepsy. Epilepsy is caused by abnormal discharges in the brain. Mild epilepsy generally shows normal results in examinations. It is recommended that the patient still take antiepileptic medication. The patient needs to return to the neurology department for a follow-up check-up after half a month to monitor the medication treatment. However, if any discomfort occurs during the medication process, the patient should go to the hospital for examination. Strengthen regular observation, maintain a reasonable diet, and practice calming and soothing measures. It is important to avoid stimuli and prevent worsening of the condition.
