Electrolyte disorders causing convulsions are epilepsy?

Patient's question:

My baby had an electrolyte imbalance once, and it hasn't recurred for 3 months since Qi Zhong. Now it has recurred, and the EEG is normal. Is this epilepsy?

Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition: Hello. There are multiple causes that can trigger seizures in children. Conditions such as high fever, hypocalcemia, electrolyte imbalances, encephalitis, brain tumors, and epilepsy can all lead to dysfunction of the brain, resulting in seizure symptoms.
An electroencephalogram (EEG) is highly sensitive to abnormalities in brain function and is commonly used in clinical practice for the diagnosis of pediatric epilepsy. If necessary, an EEG can be conducted.
