What should be done if a 2-year-old child has an EEG indicating epilepsy?

Patient's question:

Hello, my child is 2 years old, male, and had a head injury 3 months ago. Now an EEG shows epilepsy. He had a head injury with 3 needle punctures 6 months ago. Could this be the reason? Sometimes when he sleeps, his hands and feet move.

Doctor's answer:

It should be a head injury. Epilepsy caused by brain trauma. It's important to adhere to the treatment. It's best to have a head CT scan. It could also be due to a weakened immune system. It is recommended to use immune boosters to reduce the likelihood of seizures. Appropriately increase some exercise. At the same time, maintain a stable mentality. Reduce the child's crying. The current condition may still require enhanced health care. Additionally, a clinical brain MRI may be necessary for confirmation. Please follow the advice of the treating physician for specific guidance.
