Question
My daughter is 9 years old and has been saying for nearly a month that she feels uncomfortable, asking, ‘Why are you all so fast?’ The discomfort lasts no more than half an hour, and the EEG shows basic fluctuations of 8-10Hz. There are often slow waves of 4-5Hz at the back of the head, with high amplitude symmetry. The amplitude decreases after opening her eyes. What could be the cause?
Answer
The EEG examination shows the presence of epilepsy waves (i.e., epileptic discharges), suggesting a possibility of epilepsy. The diagnosis of epilepsy requires considering various factors. Currently, the main method of treating epilepsy is Chinese medicine therapy, which can help repair brain nerve cells and alleviate or cure epilepsy attacks. It is recommended to go to a large hospital for further examination and treatment as soon as possible.
