Patient's question:
At the age of 8, the female child often experiences jaw clenching, tight hand gripping, and whites of the eyes rolling up while sleeping. Massaging her for a while can alleviate these symptoms. What is unclear is why the child clenches her jaw, grips her hands tightly, and rolls her eyes up while sleeping?Doctor's answer:
Consider the possibility of epilepsy and hysteria. In this case, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly after an episode and undergo an electroencephalogram (EEG) test, which may show positive results. If necessary, further tests on neurotransmitters should be conducted. Actively adopt a comprehensive approach combining traditional Chinese and Western medicine for medication regulation. Combine clinical treatment with active specialized care and regular follow-up examinations. Rest more, maintain a balanced diet with adequate nutrition, reduce psychological stress, and ensure good sleep quality to effectively control the frequency of episodes. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
