Patient's question:
My child was diagnosed with pediatric epilepsy when he was 3 years old. It was triggered by a fever, which caused convulsions, stiffness all over the body, and other symptoms. Later, when we went to the hospital, the doctor said he had epilepsy. But I would like to consult about what the causes of pediatric epilepsy are and what precautions should be taken in daily life?What kind of help I need: How to treat and prevent it.
Doctor's answer:
Children with epilepsy should pay attention to the following issues in daily life: Optimistic attitude: It has been proven that mental stress, pessimism, and disappointment can trigger epilepsy attacks. Most epilepsy patients become pessimistic and disappointed due to long-term recurring seizures and certain gender discrimination they face in society. Epilepsy patients must pay attention to balancing work and rest. Schools and society should not impose excessive demands on children with epilepsy. Sufficient deep sleep: Lack of sleep can easily lead to epilepsy, so it is essential to ensure adequate deep sleep and avoid overworking, especially for children with epilepsy who should be guaranteed sufficient sleep time.
