Patient's question:
The child developed epilepsy at just 10 months old, but after treatment, he recovered. However, he had multiple episodes again by the time he was 11 years old. After taking medication, he didn't have any more seizures until he turned 17 this year and had one episode. From the age of 11 until now, he only stopped taking medication for about a year when he was close to 14. Every time he had a seizure, he was asleep. Is my child suffering from benign childhood epilepsy? Why would a 10-month-old baby get epilepsy? What kind of help do you need: Why would a 10-month-old baby get epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
This condition involves pediatric epilepsy, characterized by abnormal brain pulses. If a child's first recurrence occurs without a clear cause, it is generally considered congenital and benign. It is recommended to avoid emotional excitement. Some children can recover on their own with medication tolerance. It is advised to seek a thorough examination at a reputable large hospital's specialized department to determine the specific type. Under the guidance of a doctor, medication tolerance or dosage adjustment should be implemented. Do not self-adjust the dosage or stop medication. During medication, liver and kidney function tests should be conducted regularly. Avoid engaging in extreme sports activities during this period.
