Patient's question:
My child recently went on a field trip, and whenever they came back, they kept saying that I and my child had epilepsy. Once, they seemed to argue with a classmate, and unexpectedly collapsed to the ground, foaming at the mouth. Upon hearing this, I became very anxious and took them to the hospital. The doctor said it was epilepsy, but I don't know if it's the same as epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy is a medical term, generally referred to as "fainting in sheep" or "epilepsy" in the public. Therefore, "fainting in sheep" and epilepsy are the same, both caused by sudden abnormal pulses of brain neurons, leading to temporary dysfunction of brain function. It is usually manifested as symptoms such as foaming at the mouth, vacant eyes, and convulsions of the limbs. Therefore, it is recommended that your child be treated in a professional hospital in a timely manner. This disease is not easy to recover from. Friends with epilepsy should maintain a positive attitude and face it with a positive mindset. Only in this way can they reduce the confidence of fighting epilepsy and believe that they can definitely recover.
