Question
What are the symptoms of pediatric epilepsy, and what methods can be used to relieve them?
Answer
Based on the situation you described, first, this seven-year-old boy has had only one suspected epilepsy attack , and it cannot be diagnosed as epilepsy yet. Generally, at least two or more seizures are needed for a diagnosis. It is recommended that you take your child to a local grade A level public hospital’s pediatric department or specialist clinic for further consultation, and undergo an electroencephalogram and brain MRI to confirm the condition. After confirmation, it is usually suggested to take sodium valproate sustained-release tablets long-term as treatment.
