Patient's question:
My child at home has epilepsy. Currently, the child occasionally experiences twitching of the hands and feet during the day. When not having a seizure, the child may also appear dazed, staring blankly, and drooling. I would like to know what should be done when a child is diagnosed with epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that you go to a neurology department in a Class III-A hospital. Epilepsy is abnormal discharge of brain nerves, which can cause sudden loss of consciousness, convulsions in limbs, and foaming at the mouth. Both adults and children must receive standardized treatment. It is especially dangerous for children to have this disease. It is suggested that you first control the progression of the condition with medication. Pay attention to avoiding frequent colds in children, as fever can also trigger epilepsy.
