Patient's question:
Boy, 1 year old, my child suddenly fell to the ground and had convulsions yesterday. This has never happened before, and it scared us all. I want to ask what should I do if the cause cannot be found for afebrile convulsions?Doctor's answer:
If the cause cannot be identified through routine careful examination, it is recommended to undergo a brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination, as this type of examination is more precise compared to other tests. Alternatively, a series of organic acid metabolic disorder tests on blood and urine can also be beneficial in identifying the cause. There are many treatment methods for the disease, but since the patient's condition varies, the treatment approach will differ accordingly. Therefore, it is necessary for the patient to seek professional medical attention as soon as possible for detailed testing to ensure the correct treatment is administered.
