Patient's question:
Symptoms and Treatment Methods of Pediatric Epilepsy? My child has been sweating easily during naps recently, and sometimes he shakes his head for no reason. He is now 8 months old. Is this a symptom of epilepsy? I want to know what specific symptoms there are?Doctor's answer:
It is likely that the condition is epilepsy. When a child with epilepsy has a recurrence, consciousness may suddenly be lost, and sudden biting of the tongue and urinary incontinence may also occur. Subsequently, rhythmic limb convulsions may repeatedly appear, accompanied by foaming at the mouth. Gradually, breathing fully recovers, convulsions increase, and muscles become relaxed. Then, the person enters deep sleep, and upon waking, they are generally in good condition. During the interictal period, the electroencephalogram (EEG) shows scattered epileptic spikes in all leads. During the recurrence, the EEG first shows fast waves, followed by repeated widespread high-amplitude spikewaves in all leads, mixed with slow wave dispersion.Recommendation: It is best to consult a local reputable large hospital for detailed examination and treatment. Based on the patient's symptoms, explore the focus of the disease and undergo additional treatment.
