Patient's question:
Hello doctor, my son is six years old. He experienced a severe scare last year, which manifested as episodes of unconscious screaming and twitching of his hands and feet every hour or so, lasting for about ten seconds before returning to normal. These episodes occurred dozens of times during the day and night. He had an electroencephalogram (EEG) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) done at the hospital, both of which were normal, and there was no indication of epilepsy. They said it was nothing serious, and after changing his environment, the symptoms improved after about six months. But recently, the symptoms have started again, and they are occurring much more frequently.Doctor's answer:
Hello, this situation could be caused by convulsions or epilepsy attacks due to the child being frightened. It is recommended to go to the hospital's neurology department for examination. Medications for sedation and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) diagnosis and treatment methods can be applied based on the condition.We know that pediatric neurology diseases have a significant impact on children. If they are not treated promptly or if the treatment methods are incorrect, the condition can progress rapidly, causing great harm to the child. Therefore, it is crucial to seek professional medical care at a reputable hospital for standardized treatment. This is the key.
