Patient's question:
My son suddenly started foaming at the mouth and having a few weeks ago, losing consciousness, and only regained consciousness after a few minutes. After regaining consciousness, he had no energy and was lacking vitality. He went to the hospital for, and the result was epilepsy. He is now undergoing medication treatment. I would like to ask why children are prone to epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
Hello, children with epilepsy may have a genetic factor. If the genetic factor is ruled out, it could be due to abnormal brain nerve discharge during the development of the brain, which may cause epilepsy. Since the nervous system of children is not fully developed, if the cerebral cortex is exposed to high fever or intense mental stimulation, it can lead to excessive excitement and trigger epilepsy.In addition to these, there are three other triggers for childhood epilepsy: drinking beverages, eating foods like chocolate, excessive fatigue, and strong stimuli such as sound, light, and electricity.
