Patient's question:
My baby is five years old today. Recently, he often gets angry, blinks his eyes, and even screams loudly. I can't rest assured. I took him to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said it was epilepsy. I want to ask if infants and young children with a bad temper are prone to epilepsy? What kind of help is needed: Are infants and young children with a bad temper prone to epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
The causes of epilepsy are numerous, such as hereditary transmission across generations, trauma, cranial brain injury, brain tumors, and cerebrovascular diseases, among others, which can all lead to epilepsy. It is not that epilepsy is caused by a bad temper, but rather that epilepsy can cause changes in mental awareness. It is recommended that you take your child to a regular hospital for treatment as soon as possible, follow the doctor's advice, and use antiepileptic drugs for symptomatic treatment. In daily life, pay attention to getting more rest, maintaining emotional stability, avoiding overwork and stress, ensuring sufficient sleep time, and maintaining a light diet. Avoid foods such as mutton, dog meat, coffee, strong tea, cola, and spicy, irritating foods. Regularly visit the hospital for follow-up examinations.
