Patient's question:
.5 My son is 6 and a half years old, a boy, weighing 22KG. His condition is becoming increasingly frustrating for us, so I kindly ask all the kind experts to help me understand what is going on?1. In October 2008, my son had a cold, cough, and a bit of shortness of breath. The doctor prescribed a few tablets of theophylline. However, one morning, the family accidentally gave him an overdose of the medication. He was supposed to take 3/5 of a tablet, but instead, he took 3 tablets, which triggered a grand mal seizure. We didn’t know about this issue with our child before, and it made us very sad for a while. We went to the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University Medical College for examination and were diagnosed with epilepsy. Now, he takes one tablet of Keppra, Dongwei, and Dier HuiCong daily. From
Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Hello, I have carefully reviewed your baby's condition. The current symptoms of your baby are indeed related to the effects of epilepsy.Advice: I recommend that your baby first undergo a trace element test to check for any deficiencies or lead poisoning. If there are no such abnormalities, then it is likely caused by epilepsy. Currently, early treatment for pediatric epilepsy through systematic therapy can be completely cured. Moreover, as the baby grows, these symptoms can gradually disappear, and the baby can fully recover to normal. Do you understand?
