Patient's question:
Fever-induced convulsions, is this epilepsy? This is a 6-year-old boy. He has had seizures before, but they were just like his mouth being, not severe. Those episodes occurred while he was sleeping and lasted for a very short time.Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: The child is experiencing convulsions, and epilepsy is not ruled out. It is best to conduct an electroencephalogram (EEG) to confirm the diagnosis. If the child has irregular episodes, an ambulatory EEG can be used to monitor the brain's electrical activity over a prolonged period to observe the child's brain cell discharge at different times!It is recommended that you take your child to the hospital for an EEG examination to confirm the diagnosis. After a clear diagnosis, appropriate antiepileptic medication can be used to reduce epilepsy episodes and avoid abnormal situations!
