Patient's question:
Diagnosed with benign childhood epilepsy at Shanghai Children's Hospital, the doctor at the time said it could resolve on its own, so no treatment was administered, and no medication was taken. It has now been over three years since the last episode. Could it be considered to have resolved on its own? The child performs very well academically, being the top student in his class, and there is no intellectual impairment. However, he experiences headaches and vomiting when overly stressed or tired, but after resting, he returns to his lively self. I wonder if this is related to the condition or if it's psychological? The child now has psychological trauma, always feeling that something is wrong with him. We are also very worried about him.Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Hello, epilepsy is a common neurological disease in clinical practice. In daily life, it can be triggered by strong emotional activities, mental excitement, fright, calculations, playing chess, playing cards, etc. Fever, excessive drinking, hyperventilation, alcohol consumption, lack of sleep, overwork, and hunger can also induce epilepsy attacks. It is important to take preventive measures. According to clinical treatment methods, medication or related surgical treatments are generally adopted.
