Patient's question:
The baby is 2 years old and woke up suddenly with epilepsy symptoms in the morning, with eyes rolling back. The whole body was twitching. The lips turned purple. Fists clenched tightly. Teeth clenched tightly. Unconscious for 20 minutes. The doctor first ordered a CT scan, then an EEG. Can I refuse the CT scan? The baby is too young, and I'm afraid it will affect him.Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy is caused by specific discharges produced by brain neurons. There are many causes, such as genetics, trauma, infection, intracranial diseases, etc., and some cases have unknown causes. Clinically, drugs such as phenytoin and sodium valproate can be selected based on the condition for treatment. Pay attention to diet, avoid spicy foods, alcohol, coffee, etc.; avoid emotional excitement; and pay attention to personal safety.
