Patient's question:
22nd test for rotavirus infection, severe vomiting.23rd received intravenous fluids for a day and then stopped.
25th noon, the child was playing and suddenly collapsed on the sofa, with mouth, eyes, and weakness all over. She was picked up while lying down, her eyes rolled up, and her face turned livid. It lasted for about 10 minutes. Upon arriving at the nearest hospital, she was already unconscious. They administered intravenous fluids based on electrolyte imbalance. She cried a few times during the infusion and then fell asleep. Please ask the doctor if this is epilepsy.
Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, if the child experiences vomiting and severe nausea that leads to electrolyte imbalance, it may also trigger tics. I suggest you have an electroencephalogram (EEG) test to rule out the possibility of epilepsy. Epilepsy is characterized by sudden loss of consciousness, upward rolling of the eyes, dilated pupils, jaw clenching, incontinence of urine and feces, followed by several minutes of generalized convulsions that stop naturally, with foaming at the mouth. This is the advice for the question "Is severe vomiting caused by rotavirus infection a sign of epilepsy?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
