The baby has epilepsy symptoms after a fever, with multiple episodes. How is it treated?

Patient's question:

Hello! My baby is one year old this year. After having a fever at nine months, he started showing symptoms of epilepsy. When I took him to the hospital for check-ups, everything was normal. So far, he has had multiple episodes! How should this be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Medical Analysis: Hello, for a child in this condition, it is recommended to undergo a 24-hour EEG and consult with CT. Even if the EEG results are normal, it cannot completely rule out the possibility of epilepsy, and a 24-hour continuous EEG monitoring may be necessary.
Guidance: It is important to rule out brain-related causes of the condition. If the episodes occur occasionally, observation is advisable. However, if the episodes are frequent, antiepileptic treatment should be considered.
