Patient's question:
I'm almost a year old, eight days away from turning one. This morning, after getting up and going downstairs, I suddenly felt my limbs stiff and my lips turning purple. This lasted for about a minute, after which I felt a bit weak. I went to the emergency room for blood tests, which were normal, but the EEG and CT scans haven't been done yet. Everything is normal now, and none of my family members have a history of epilepsy. I hope this can be explained. Thank you!Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the child's symptoms are typical of epilepsy. Epilepsy, as a chronic disease, may not have a significant impact on patients in the short term, but frequent long-term episodes can severely affect the patient's physical and mental health, as well as their intelligence. The diagnosis of epilepsy primarily relies on electroencephalography (EEG), CT scans, and clinical manifestations. It is recommended that you take the child for examination and diagnosis as soon as possible.
