Patient's question:
When the child sleeps in the afternoon nap, he is particularly restless and sometimes hits me. I am worried that he might get epilepsy. What are the symptoms of epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy is a very common neurological disorder. The clinical manifestations of epilepsy are mainly limb convulsions and spitting white foam. Based on the above symptoms, the possibility of having epilepsy is not very high. Epilepsy is mainly caused by abnormal pulses in the brain, which cannot be completely cured but can be controlled through oral medication to prevent further episodes. If there is no recurrence within two years, medication can be stopped, but it is necessary to implement regular follow-up and timely adjustment of medication to prevent self-discontinuation or overuse. It is also necessary to pay attention to preventing triggers to avoid recurrence. Severe cases may pose a risk to life.
