Patient's question:
My relative has a soft and cute little girl, who is quite annoying, but one time while playing on the stairs, she suddenly fell to the ground, frothing at the mouth and losing consciousness, and was also twitching all over. It was quite unsettling to see. Later, we found out she had epilepsy, also known as, and we all felt very sorry for her.Doctor's answer:
Children's brains are in a developmental stage, the central nervous system is immature, neurons are unstable, and neurotransmitter release is unbalanced, making them more sensitive to influences and convulsions, which is why epilepsy is more common in children. Since the local localization, extent of spread, and etiology of epilepsy are age-dependent, many epilepsy syndromes and specific recurrence types are only seen in children. Parents should not panic and actively cooperate with doctors to control the condition, and everything will be fine. For patients, if the condition of epilepsy is severe, timely symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication are necessary to prevent recurrence. In addition, patients need a proper diet and maintain a positive mood. I hope the answers to these questions can help everyone. Thank you.
