Patient's question:
A male is 1 year old this year. He has been running to and from the hospital many times, but the effects are always not obvious, and he has been having attacks all along. Please ask: How can one determine if it is a case of benign childhood epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
Benign epilepsy often presents with sudden loss of consciousness, followed by repetitive tonic or rhythmic convulsions in the limbs. Benign epilepsy may manifest as involuntary twitching of the hands and feet, accompanied by blinking, and repetitive involuntary convulsions in both feet. After diagnosis, it is recommended to promptly use medication to address the condition, as the prognosis is generally favorable. There are many treatment methods for the disease, but since the patient's condition varies, the treatment approach also differs. Therefore, it is necessary for patients to seek professional medical evaluation as soon as possible for detailed testing to provide targeted treatment.
