Patient's question:
In these past few months, my son's emotions have been particularly unstable, often feeling sad, and he also tends to get overly excited over small matters. Additionally, he is very easily startled. He has undergone thorough medical examinations at the hospital, and the doctor said that my son shows symptoms of epilepsy, requiring the family to receive training in care.Doctor's answer:
When a child with epilepsy has a recurrence, parents must absolutely not panic. Immediately lay the child flat, turn their head to one side, and loosen their clothing. You can wrap a gauze pad tightly around a tongue depressor and place it between the child's upper and lower teeth to keep their airway clear and allow phlegm to drain, preventing tongue bites. Do not forcibly restrain the child's convulsing limbs to avoid fractures. After the seizure, ensure the child rests in a quiet environment.Facing the dangers of epilepsy, we should actively implement thorough examinations and treatments, without avoiding medical visits. If epilepsy does not respond to treatment, it is important to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
