Patient's question:
Hello, I am a primary school teacher. Here is a child who has been acting unusually recently. He often stops playing suddenly and stares blankly, without responding no matter how much he is called. After a while, he is fine again. I asked his parents to take him to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said he has epilepsy. The parents are very scared. What are the dangers of epilepsy in children?Doctor's answer:
Hello, frequent seizures in children with epilepsy can affect the patient's employment, marriage, and family life, making it easy for them to feel mentally depressed, impacting their physical and mental health, and some patients may even experience mental disorders. Seizures in children with epilepsy occur without regard to time, place, or environment and are uncontrollable, making it easy for them to suffer from falls, burns, drowning, traffic accidents, etc. In severe cases, it can even lead to death.
