Patient's question:
My son came back from school that day and heard the teacher say that the child had another episode of tetanic convulsions during tutoring. At that time, when he called him, he refused, with a pale face, foam in his mouth, and no one recognized him. However, the symptoms disappeared after a few minutes.Doctor's answer:
When a child with epilepsy has a recurrence, first, the patient should be mentally prepared, and the family or those around should be informed, because the recurrence is unavoidable. If possible and time permits, the patient should be helped to bed. If not, let them fall onto their stomach to prevent injury from sudden loss of consciousness. Quickly remove surrounding hard objects and sharp items to reduce further harm to the patient during the recurrence. Epilepsy patients can use folk remedies as supplementary treatment while understanding professional care. In daily diet, it is crucial to avoid extreme hunger or overeating and never indulge in binge eating.
