Question
A 9-year-old boy, a child of a friend of mine, is experiencing random jumping and hitting others, unable to control himself, and collapsing to the ground. How should pediatric epilepsy be treated?
Answer
Children often have seizures again while sleeping, which is a common phenomenon. Seizures usually refer to the sudden and uncontrolled stiffening and contraction of muscles, causing stiffness and pain. Epilepsy is a common disease that can cause nocturnal seizures in children. It is necessary to make an accurate diagnosis based on the situation. If there is any uncertainty, it is recommended that parents take their child to a regular hospital for a thorough examination. In addition to treatment, patients should maintain regular daily routines, do well in keeping warm, eat light and soft foods in daily meals, keep the room well-ventilated, and drink plenty of hot water. Good living habits are also helpful in preventing the occurrence of the disease.
