Patient's question:
My three-year-old suddenly had a shock and muscle cramps, followed by a fever. When he was one year and four months old, he had his first episode, and every time after that, he had muscle cramps due to fever... I don't know if it's epilepsy.Doctor's answer:
This is a high fever seizure, not epilepsy. If it were epilepsy, there would be no fever during convulsions; normal convulsions would also occur. Epilepsy is caused by abnormal brain activity. If you're not sure, you can go to the hospital for an electroencephalogram to clarify the condition.
