Question

A 6-month-old baby cannot lift its head, can roll over, and has normal appetite, but sometimes it trembles. What are the manifestations of pediatric epilepsy?

Answer

The manifestations of pediatric epilepsy include, but are not limited to, sudden body spasms, loss of consciousness, and trembling. If you suspect your child has epilepsy, you should immediately go to the hospital for an EEG and brain CT scan. After diagnosis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication such as diazepam and phenobarbital may be prescribed for oral treatment. It is important to pay attention to diet and avoid eating spicy, alcoholic, tea, coffee, and other irritating foods. If treatment is not timely or the method is incorrect, the condition may worsen rapidly. Therefore, it is essential to seek timely and regular treatment at a professional hospital.
