Patient's question:
The child's hands and feet are trembling, diagnosed with epilepsy. How should it be treated? The child is 16 years old, male. Originally, his hands were trembling, and now his feet are trembling. Last Saturday, he unconsciously fell down without feeling it. A 24-hour EEG was performed, and it was considered to be epilepsy.Doctor's answer:
Hello, epilepsy is a clinical syndrome characterized by recurrent episodes of abnormal brain cell activity that disrupt brain function. Common symptoms of an epileptic seizure include: suddenly losing consciousness upon waking as if nothing happened, hair loss, twitching of limbs, vomiting or screaming from the mouth. Epilepsy has two diagnostic features: first, it is sudden, meaning the disease erupts without other signs. Second, epilepsy is not a one-time or two-time episode, but rather recurrent attacks. These two conditions are essential. It is recommended that if it is truly difficult to diagnose whether it is epilepsy, it is best to go to a professional epilepsy hospital for examination and treatment to avoid delay.
