Question
What are the possible symptoms of pediatric seizures?
Answer
Seizures are quite common in 5% to 6% of children, may recur or persist in a chronic state, posing a threat to life, and can lead to severe sequelae, affecting intellectual development. For children experiencing seizures, it is crucial to emphasize the importance of treating the underlying cause. Infection is a common cause of seizures, and antibiotics should be used early on if bacterial infection cannot be ruled out; for central nervous system infections, antibiotics that can cross the blood-brain barrier should be administered.
