What are the reasons that can cause seizures in children?

Patient's question:

At home, the child didn't know what was wrong, took the child to the hospital for a thorough examination, and surprisingly found epilepsy. This disease causes the child to convulse all over whenever it recurs. Even with medication, the child's condition is difficult to control stably. The child is about to start elementary school, and I want to understand what causes epilepsy attacks in children. What kind of help is needed: What causes epilepsy attacks in children?

Doctor's answer:

Okay, here is the translation, following your instructions:
I. Inheritance across generations, epilepsy is divided into primary and secondary types. Primary epilepsy is caused by poor growth and development during the fetal period. A small portion is caused by inheritance across generations. Secondary epilepsy is generally caused by later trauma, diseases, and so on.
II. Nutritional and metabolic diseases, such as hypoglycemia, diabetic coma, lack of Vitamin B6, hyperthyroidism, etc., can all bring about epilepsy seizures. Poisoning, including lead, gas, and pesticides, as well as systemic diseases such as hepatic encephalopathy, rapidly progressive nephritis, uremia, etc., can all bring about epilepsy seizures.
