Patient's question:
My child is now 1 year old, but when taking a nap, he always sweats all over and tends to stare blankly. When asked, he doesn't know what's wrong.What kind of help is needed: How can I prevent my child from developing epilepsy?
Doctor's answer:
During pregnancy, especially in the first three months, it is important to avoid radiation and prevent infections. Do not take medication blindly and should take medicine under the guidance of a doctor. Proper diet should be maintained during pregnancy to prevent excessive weight gain in the fetus. At the same time, regular prenatal check-ups are necessary. If abnormal fetal growth and development are detected, early pregnancy should be terminated promptly depending on the situation. Epilepsy has a clear hereditary pattern across generations, and if one spouse suffers from epilepsy, it is best to have the entire process guided by a specialist doctor when planning to have the next child. If a child has a recurrence of fever due to colds, tonsillitis, pneumonia, or excessive fright, and the temperature is below 38°C, it is important to seek medical attention promptly to prevent high fever seizures. Because high fever seizures in children can cause brain tissue to be flooded, which may lead to brain damage and potentially result in epilepsy.
