Patient's question:
Symptoms of a 9-year-old: Four limbs convulsing rigidly, head tilted backward, spitting white foam, purple lips, and loud screams, lasting less than 1 minute. Afterward, the body becomes soft. Currently, it occurs several times a day, with episodes happening for days followed by rest periods. From the second day of birth to now, no cause has been identified.Doctor's answer:
The situation you mentioned should be considered for epilepsy. It is recommended to go to the hospital for an electroencephalogram (EEG) to confirm the diagnosis and also rule out hysteria.Epilepsy is a chronic condition. If not well-controlled, it can persist for several years. Epilepsy patients should maintain a positive attitude, build confidence in overcoming the disease, and adhere to long-term treatment. Medication should only be discontinued after a prolonged period of symptom relief. We know that pediatric epilepsy has a significant impact on children. If it is not treated promptly or if the treatment method is incorrect, the condition can progress rapidly, causing great harm to young children. Therefore, it is crucial to seek professional medical care at a specialized hospital for standardized treatment. This is the key.
