Patient's question:

Sometimes he laughs foolishly and cries uncontrollably, especially at night, making him very difficult to take care of. Could it be infantile epilepsy? What should I do? What kind of help do you need: What are the characteristics of infantile epilepsy symptoms?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation described, your child's symptoms do not resemble an epileptic seizure. Epileptic relapses in children often involve loss of consciousness, eyes tightly closed or half-open, upward rolling of the eyes, jaw clenching, twitching of the corners of the mouth, head tilting backward, repetitive flexion and extension of the limbs, bluish lips, body stiffness, and lasting for several seconds to several minutes. If you are not at ease with your child's condition, it is recommended to take them to a regular hospital for a thorough examination of the electroencephalogram (EEG) and brain MRI. Based on the examination results, a diagnosis and treatment plan can be formulated accordingly.
