Patient's question:
Suddenly fainted in class, accompanied by convulsionsSymptom Description: My daughter is 7 years old. While standing up to answer a question in class, she suddenly fainted and had convulsions. What could be the cause?
Doctor's answer:
In this case, if there is a fever, it is more likely to be a high fever seizure. If there is no fever, it is highly considered that there may be a possibility of epilepsy. It is best to have an electroencephalogram (EEG) test, and it is most effective to do it during an episode. If it is confirmed to be epilepsy, medication should be taken daily to control the progression of the condition, while avoiding stimuli that may affect the brain.
