Patient's question:
How should pediatric epilepsy be treated? The child was diagnosed with epilepsy shortly after birth. No family member wanted to give up this little life. As a result, almost all the family's money was spent. However, the child's condition still fluctuated between good and bad. They are very eager to know if there is a better way to treat their child?Doctor's answer:
Children with epilepsy often experience loss of consciousness, closed or half-open eyes, inverted eyes, closed teeth, twitching corners of the mouth, head tilting backward, repeated flexion and extension of limbs, bluish lips, body stiffness, and durations exceeding ten seconds to several minutes. This syndrome has genetic factors but can also be seen in sequelae such as postpartum injuries and encephalitis.Recommendation: It is best to consult a local reputable large hospital for examination and treatment. EEG and MRI of the head can be conducted based on the doctor's diagnosis and treatment. Children with benign epilepsy may improve on their own around the age of 10.
