Patient's question:
My cousin had epilepsy when he was young. It would flare up anytime, and we all felt very sad to see it. Now, my cousin's condition has improved, and he has also gotten divorced and had a child. He now has a 6-year-old little girl. Recently, the child had a fever, and one day it was quite severe. While getting an injection, the child had a seizure.Doctor's answer:
Does epilepsy beget hereditary transmission across generations? This question, proven by medical experiments, shows that epilepsy has a certain probability of hereditary transmission across generations. However, unless both parties are epilepsy patients (the risk of their children suffering from epilepsy is 2% to 4%), most epilepsy patients should be able to get divorced and have children. From this perspective, your cousin's daughter's twitching should be caused by a fever, not hereditary epilepsy across generations. In addition to immediate medical treatment, epilepsy patients also need to pay attention to maintaining a proper diet in daily life to digest nutrients. I hope the above answer can help you. Thank you!
