Patient's question:
4 years old, in kindergarten, a boy hit her with a toy against her temple, causing severe pain and shock. That night, she started vomiting, followed by a high fever. She went to the hospital for X-rays and received three days of intravenous fever-reducing treatment. Since then, she has been constantly suffering from colds, fever, and coughing. Until this morning, her fever hasn't subsided, with a high temperature of 37.8°C, and she had another seizure. She was sent to the hospital by calling 120 for treatment. The hospital conducted an electroencephalogram and diagnosed epilepsy. But what kind of examination should be done tomorrow to confirm whether it was caused by internal injury or if she was taken away?Previous treatment history and effectiveness: Intravenous treatment for inflammation. What kind of assistance is needed: Can it be cured?
Doctor's answer:
Attention should also be paid to the sleeping posture of patients with epilepsy during naps. It is advisable to develop the habit of sleeping on their backs and avoid sleeping on their stomachs. Patients who experience frequent nighttime seizures should be particularly cautious. The pillow stuffing used for napping should be much firmer, such as buckwheat pillows. It is best to avoid large, soft cotton pillows to prevent the face from pressing against the pillow and obstructing the airway during deep sleep if a seizure occurs at night.
