Question
Does a child having 5-6 seizures a day, each with 4-18 movements, constitute epilepsy? How should it be handled?
Answer
The child has previously been examined by a pediatric neurology department and diagnosed with epilepsy. The main diagnostic basis is the EEG results. It is unclear how the described seizure movements are specifically. The accuracy of the epilepsy diagnosis needs further confirmation. If confirmed to be epilepsy, hospitalization is required for treatment when the control is not effective. After the condition stabilizes, effective oral medications should be selected for treatment. If it is indeed epilepsy, oral antiepileptic drugs are needed for treatment.
