Patient's question:
The child is seven years old. Recently, it was noticed that something was wrong with the child, such as foaming at the mouth and twitching of the limbs. The child was taken to the hospital. The doctor recommended an electroencephalogram (EEG), which showed slightly increased spikes in the bilateral occipital regions and spike-slow wave discharges. What type is this?Doctor's answer:
Consider it may be caused by a grand mal seizure. It is mainly due to the generation of specific discharges by brain neurons. Clinically, appropriate antiepileptic drugs such as sodium valproate are selected for treatment based on the condition.Pay attention to your diet, avoid spicy foods, abstain from alcohol, avoid emotional excitement and overexertion, and take care of your own safety.
