Patient's question:
Doctor, my baby is only 7 years old this year. However, the teacher called me and said that the child often shakes uncontrollably at school, asking us to take him to the hospital for a check-up, suspecting epilepsy. How can we carefully examine and verify it?Doctor's answer:
A seven-year-old child often experiences recurrent, uncontrollable trembling of their hands in school. If this occurs in a hospital setting, it is recommended to visit the pediatric neurology clinic for an examination, including a head MRI and an EEG, to help diagnose whether there is a clear case of epilepsy. There may be an issue with epilepsy seizures. The key point to note is that for a definitive diagnosis, it may be necessary to identify the underlying cause and proceed with medication treatment.
