How to treat a boy's seizure?

Patient's question:

Every time, the symptoms appear when he wakes up by himself after sleeping (if he is woken up, there are no symptoms), his eyes roll up, his lips turn purple, his limbs twitch, there is a sound in his throat, and he returns to normal within one minute, no different from ordinary people. All the tests in the hospital are normal.

Doctor's answer:

Child convulsions. If you want to be properly treated, you need to find out the cause of the child's convulsions first. For children with the first fever who also have convulsions, doctors will ask the parents in detail about the duration of the convulsions, the symptoms of the convulsions, and the family history. A blood test needs to be done. When necessary, a lumbar puncture should be arranged to rule out meningitis or metabolic diseases. Usually, an intravenous drip is required, and the child needs to be hospitalized for observation for six to eight hours, as there may be a possibility of another short-term episode. If it's an acute attack, intravenous injection or rectal suppositories will be used to administer anticonvulsant drugs to stop the convulsions.
