Patient's question:
My three-year-old suddenly had a seizure after being startled and then developed a fever. At the age of one and four months, she had her first seizure. Later, every time she had a seizure, it was followed by a fever... I don't know if it's epilepsy.Doctor's answer:
This is a high fever seizure, not epilepsy. If it were epilepsy, there would be no fever during convulsions; normal convulsions can occur as well.Epilepsy is caused by abnormal electrical discharges in the brain. If you're not sure, you can have an electroencephalogram (EEG) test at the hospital to confirm the condition.
We know that pediatric epilepsy can cause significant harm to children. If it is not treated promptly or if the treatment method is incorrect, the condition can progress rapidly, causing great harm to the patient. Therefore, parents should pay close attention to their child's condition and seek timely medical treatment.
