Patient's question:
During a cold, the EEG shows mild brain waves, but it has never had an attack. Is it epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
For children, it is possible to have abnormal EEG results after a cold. Even if the child does not have a cold, abnormalities may still occur due to the underdeveloped brain and nerve development in children. This cannot be used as a basis for diagnosing epilepsy.Guidance: The diagnosis of epilepsy requires both clinical symptoms and abnormal EEG results to be considered. It is recommended that you relax your mindset and not be overly concerned. More importantly, avoid unnecessary treatments for the child!
