Patient's question:
When the child had a cold, we gave him medicine. At first, he seemed to be getting better, but for some reason, he developed a fever in the middle of the night. At that time, we were not around, which led to the child later developing epilepsy. During episodes, he experiences varying degrees of twitching. Sometimes, his eyes are wide open and vacant, and he makes slight sounds with his mouth. Occasionally, he also exhibits a tendency to bite things again. How should pediatric epilepsy be diagnosed?Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy is diagnosed through an electroencephalogram during a seizure. The causes of epilepsy in children include high fever seizures. Severe or frequent high fever seizures in childhood can lead to local hypoxia or edema. If epilepsy is diagnosed, long-term medication treatment is necessary. Even after symptoms subside, long-term medication treatment should still be continued. The above is advice on this issue. It is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
