Six-year-old boy has recently woken up suddenly with crying, trembling hands and feet after sleeping.

Patient's question:

A six-year-old boy has recently been experiencing sudden awakenings with crying, trembling hands and feet, and a look of fear, taking about two to three minutes to calm down. Could this be a symptom of epilepsy?

Doctor's answer:

??????? Hello, considering the child's condition, the possibility of epilepsy is high. It cannot be delayed to actively check and treat. It is recommended to do an electroencephalogram (EEG) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or CT scan to see. If it is epilepsy, active treatment is necessary, and early treatment cannot be delayed, as it will affect the child's growth and development.
