Patient's question:
My baby is only eight months old. Previously, there were no abnormalities, but a few days ago, for some reason, while I was playing with him, he suddenly became motionless, with a vacant stare. It took about three or four seconds for him to return to normal. He also had a slight tremor in his hands and feet once when he had a fever. There is a history of epilepsy in my husband's family, and now I am very worried that my child might also have epilepsy.What kind of help do I need: Can an eight-month-old child have epilepsy?
Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy, also known as "epilepsy," is proven medically that patients with epilepsy have a certain hereditary nature, especially in families with primary epilepsy, the incidence rate is often higher. The main manifestations are sudden, intermittent, and brief loss of consciousness, severe limb pain and convulsions, and are characterized by repeated recurrence. Epilepsy is inherited over generations or caused by head trauma. Since the child is still young, it is not possible to draw conclusions based on symptoms. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a detailed and thorough examination and diagnosis. It could also be that the baby's nervous system has not developed well, but it also depends on the circumstances under which it occurs.
