Patient's question:
My daughter is two years old. Recently, her left shoulder has been constantly shrugging upwards, not habitually. A doctor suggested calcium supplements. If it doesn't work, they recommended an EEG for me, saying there's a suspicion of pediatric epilepsy. I don't know if it's true. Is this symptom a precursor to epilepsy? How can such a young child be treated?Doctor's answer:
A precursor of epilepsy. But children lacking calcium can also cause similar epilepsy symptoms. You should check the child's calcification. If there's no problem, it should be considered a precursor of epilepsy. In that case, a pure Chinese herbal formula is needed to completely cure it in a short period of time. The treatment of pediatric epilepsy must be standardized. Formal treatment. Epileptic seizures. The manifestations are diverse and varied. Treatment cannot be one-size-fits-all. First, in terms of drug selection. There are many types of antiepileptic drugs. Generally, antiepileptic drugs are selected based on the type of clinical seizures in the child.
