Patient's question:
Doctor, my baby is two years old. A few days ago, during dinner, he ate a lot of snacks, two cups of yogurt, oranges, student milk, and apple bread. By nine o'clock in the evening, an adult carried the child to sleep for a nap. They found the child lying on the floor and picked him up. Right after that, the child started rolling his eyes, his face turned pale, and his lips turned purple, but there was no seizure. However, he was a bit dizzy. The child's grandmother quickly pinched the point between the eyebrows. After a minute, the child vomited a lot and then sat on the sofa weakly. After that, he had a slight fever of 37.5 degrees, and then he had a cold with a runny nose and hiccups. I want to ask if this is related to epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
If the twitching is severe, it is called epilepsy. Epilepsy is an advanced stage of tics, and clinical diagnosis is often seen in late-onset ischemic encephalopathy. Magnetic resonance imaging is required to rule out organic brain disease before determining the treatment plan, including neurotrophic nutrition. Excitement activates the damaged nerves to completely restore nerve function and achieve early recovery. Otherwise, if the condition is neglected and continues to worsen, it may lead to severe tics-epilepsy-incomplete spastic collapse-intellectual disability. It is absolutely crucial not to be complacent and miss the opportunity for timely treatment, as regret will be inevitable.
