Patient's question:
This feeling is like limb anesthesia in the child, rather than joint pain. Anyway, it's strange, and when this feeling reappears, the fingers feel weak. Sometimes using chopsticks feels a bit difficult. I wonder: What are the causes of epilepsy symptoms in children? What should I do? The kind of help I need: What are the causes of epilepsy symptoms in children?Doctor's answer:
Childhood benign epilepsy is a special type of epilepsy in children, characterized by its occurrence only during a specific developmental stage of the child, rather than being caused by other conditions, and having a significant hereditary factor. The symptoms of childhood benign epilepsy include no loss of consciousness, no intellectual disability, natural resolution, and a good prognosis. Other brain diseases and brain injuries are common triggers for epilepsy in children. Therefore, when suspecting this type of epilepsy, if the electroencephalogram (EEG) is normal when the child is awake, it is necessary to perform a sleep-deep EEG to make a definitive diagnosis.
