Patient's question:
The child is 2 years old. Previously, they had a fall, and since then, they have frequently experienced seizures and episodes of staring. The doctor said this is epilepsy. What happens to the child after the fall that triggers epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's common for children to fall, but whether it will lead to epilepsy depends on the severity of the fall. If a child falls and hits their head, it's likely to cause a blood clot in the brain, which may trigger epilepsy and hydrocephalus. Therefore, if a child falls and hits their head, adults must take it seriously and observe any abnormalities. Sometimes, even without visible injuries, it shouldn't be taken lightly. It's best to take the child for a check-up promptly.
