Question
Male, 3 years old, my child has had several seizures already. During the seizures, he has convulsions and foams at the mouth. Once, I was worried he might bite his tongue, and my hand was actually bitten through. The doctor said that frequent seizures can affect the child’s intelligence, and we are very worried. What should we do to prevent epilepsy seizures in children?
Answer
If there is a family history of epilepsy, it is important to conduct prenatal diagnosis or neonatal screening in time. Pay attention to timely diagnosis of epilepsy patients, early treatment, and removing or reducing the underlying causes that trigger epilepsy. Maintain a good attitude and rest adequately in daily life. Different causes lead to different symptoms, so patients need to seek systematic and standardized examinations at regular hospitals based on their own conditions as soon as possible. This allows for targeted treatment and a quicker recovery.
