Patient's question:
The child is just six months old. In the past few days, the child has had a cold, and despite taking some medicine, it hasn't improved. The child also has high fever symptoms and vomits when trying to nurse. I took him to the hospital for a check-up, and the result was pediatric epilepsy. I would like to ask, what are the diagnostic criteria for pediatric epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
Hello, diagnostic criteria for infantile epilepsy. Children with epilepsy who meet the following criteria should be considered for the possibility of benign infantile epilepsy: onset age between 3 and 12 months, not exceeding 24 months, with a family history of benign infantile seizures; normal psychomotor development before and after onset; seizures without a trigger, or with only mild diarrhea and other non-specific infections.
