Patient's question:
The child is almost 4 years old. In the past few months, they occasionally experienced night terrors. They usually go to sleep around 9 o'clock at night, but around 11 o'clock they suddenly sit up, look vacant, speak incoherently, clench their fists, sweat profusely, and have convulsions, which last for about 3 minutes. After that, they fall back into a deep sleep, and everything is normal by the next morning. Recently, the frequency has increased, happening almost every night. It's feared that this might be an early symptom of epilepsy.Doctor's answer:
Hello, your child's condition may be caused by epilepsy, and it is still curable. Generally, medication can be used for treatment. Commonly used drugs include phenytoin, carbamazepine, clonazepam, etc. You can also choose traditional Chinese medicine Tianxiadan for treatment. If the medication treatment is not effective, surgery may still be required. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
