Patient's question:
The child's toes can move slightly and quickly in the morning, but the whole body feels numb. When taken to the hospital for a thorough examination, the results show a normal brain CT. On the third day, the feet can also move slightly and quickly, allowing the buttocks to reflect. Experts, how optimistic is the situation? Will it collapse? Are the symptoms of child epilepsy periodic? What kind of help is needed: Are the symptoms of child epilepsy periodic? How optimistic is the situation?Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy typically exhibits characteristic symptoms during episodes. In terms of the time between intermittent recurrences, the condition may not have a recurrence for two years, or it could involve multiple recurrences within a short period, even daily. The duration of an epilepsy attack is not well-defined, so it is also necessary to determine the frequency of children's epilepsy attacks based on the patient's overall condition. Regarding the duration of recurrences, brief episodes may last only a few seconds or minutes, while prolonged episodes can continue for several hours. From the perspective of the time between recurrences, the longest interval may be every two years, while the shortest could be daily, or even multiple times a day. Patients can try to imagine a calm state of mind, allowing themselves to relax, which can also be very effective in preventing epilepsy.
