Patient's question:
A week ago, because I ate too much at night and went to sleep immediately, I vomited in the middle of the night, had stomach pain, and also had stomach pain when I woke up in the morning. Around 15 minutes in the morning, I had pain about once, and in the afternoon, I had pain every 1-2 hours, each lasting for 1-2 minutes. Starting from the next day, although the pain became less frequent, it still occurred 1-2 times a day. It has been 6 days so far. The pain is not severe when it occurs, and my mental state is also very good. It recovers quickly. There are no other symptoms of abdominal epilepsy, such as:Previous treatment history and effectiveness: None.
What help do you expect:
1. Is this abdominal epilepsy?
2. Will abdominal epilepsy gradually develop into severe epilepsy?
3. Is there abdominal epilepsy that only causes abdominal pain? Because I have seen that abdominal epilepsy pain is usually very severe and has mental disturbances.
Doctor's answer:
From what you mentioned, it should be gastrointestinal inflammation caused by improper diet, leading to intestinal spasms, rather than the abdominal epilepsy you mentioned. If it is confirmed to be abdominal epilepsy, it would not be severely expanded in a short period of time, and there are often mental health issues involved. Regarding your child's condition, there is a clear trigger of improper diet, so the possibility of inflammation remains high, and epilepsy is generally not considered. Appropriate physical therapy methods or antispasmodic drugs can be used. I hope my explanation is helpful to you. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
