Patient's question:
Recently, I noticed that my child's eyes are rolling upwards; his lips are turning purple; and he's drooling with white foam. The doctor concluded it's epilepsy. After taking Kailuan for 20 days, he had a seizure (Kailuan is taken twice a day, with each dose being a quarter). I took him back to the hospital, and the doctor adjusted his medication dosage. Now he takes it twice a day, with each dose being half, plus B6 twice a day, with each dose being one tablet (10 mg). Now, my child is showing symptoms again of having a seizure. Is he still suffering from epilepsy? What could be the reason for this? There's no history of this disease in our family.Doctor's answer:
Considering it may be epilepsy, abnormal discharges in the brain. Typical absence seizures are characterized by sudden onset, cessation of movement, staring, unresponsiveness to, may involve blinking, but are generally accompanied by minimal or no motor symptoms, ending abruptly. They typically last 5-20 seconds, rarely exceeding 1 minute. Primarily seen in childhood absence epilepsy.
