What should I do 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 he has epilepsy. He had a head injury with 3 needle pricks 6 months ago. Is this 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 incidence. Increase physical activity appropriately. Maintain a stable mindset at the same time. 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.
