Patient's question:
When the child has a seizure, they grind their teeth, their lips turn blue, and they clench their fists. This has been observed for over two months. Currently, they are taking Topiramate and Keppra, but the condition has not been controlled. I would like to ask if an EEG is needed? Also, how does the hospital charge for this?Doctor's answer:
An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a modern auxiliary diagnostic method that amplifies and records the brain's own weak bioelectrical signals into a graphical curve using an electroencephalogram recorder to aid in disease diagnosis. It causes no trauma to the examinee. The EEG has certain diagnostic value for brain diseases, but it is limited by various conditions, so in most cases, it cannot serve as the sole basis for diagnosis and requires a comprehensive analysis that combines the patient's symptoms, signs, other laboratory tests, or auxiliary diagnostic methods.
