Patient's question:
Girl, 2 and a half years old, my child has had high fever that won't go down these past few days, with ups and downs. Today, suddenly, there were twitching symptoms in her body. I want to know what are the causes of high fever and convulsions in children?Doctor's answer:
Tics are one of the main symptoms of epilepsy, but they are not a specific symptom of the disease. Other conditions can also cause tics, such as hysteric tics, hypocalcemic tics, febrile seizures in children, hypoglycemic seizures, etc., which do not fall under the category of epilepsy. Therefore, not all tics are caused by epilepsy. At the same time, some types of epilepsy patients do not exhibit tics, such as typical absence seizures, temporal lobe epilepsy, abdominal epilepsy, headache epilepsy, etc. Once epilepsy-like symptoms are detected, it is essential to seek treatment as soon as possible. Epilepsy relapses can affect brain growth and development, as well as cause harm to the body. The earlier the treatment begins, the greater the impact it can have on epilepsy, and it can also improve the effectiveness of the treatment.
