Question

This year, the child started having seizures, which always occur in the morning. During seizures, there are convulsions in the limbs, eyes rolling upwards, and once there was also a phenomenon of vomiting white foam. The child was examined in a hospital in Baotou City, and the doctor said it might be due to overexertion, but no other abnormalities were found. The child is currently four years old.

Answer

A diagnosis of pediatric epilepsy requires an electroencephalogram (EEG). Commonly used medications include phenytoin sodium, carbamazepine, and epilepsy tablets. If medication treatment is ineffective, microsurgical treatment may need to be considered. It is very important to seek timely treatment at a professional hospital to avoid the worsening of the condition and greater harm to the child.
