Patient's question:
My child is five years old this year. Recently, I noticed that he often twitches for no reason. At first, I thought it was because he was calcium-deficient, but later it became very frequent, so I took him to the hospital for a thorough examination. It turned out that it wasn't due to calcium deficiency but epilepsy. Hello, can epilepsy in a 5-year-old child be treated?Doctor's answer:
A five-year-old child is experiencing symptoms of epilepsy again, which should manifest as congenital neurodevelopmental disorders. If your baby experiences difficulty during delivery again, it can easily lead to the recurrence of epilepsy. It is best to take the child to the hospital promptly for a brain CT and EEG examination. If it is confirmed to be epilepsy, it is necessary to persist in taking antiepileptic medication for a period of time to control it. Additionally, acupuncture can be performed for a certain period of time, as some children experience significant relief, even complete remission.
