Patient's question:
When my child was six months old, they received the hepatitis B vaccine, and three hours later, they experienced convulsions in their left arm. They were diagnosed with pediatric epilepsy at the hospital. Over the past two days, they have been slightly constipated and also experiencing convulsions.Doctor's answer:
Clinical manifestations include recurrent muscle twitching and loss of consciousness. There are two types of seizures: generalized and partial. An electroencephalogram (EEG) contributes to the diagnosis of this condition in 50-60% of cases. Repeated seizures can severely affect a child's intellectual and mental development. If a child has epilepsy, family members should not be overly anxious. As medical technology improves, approximately 80% of children with epilepsy can have their condition controlled through treatment. Among them, 50% can remain seizure-free for life after stopping medication.
