Question
What’s the disease when a child suddenly clenches their fists, shakes, and cries?
Answer
According to your description, the child may be experiencing epilepsy symptoms. It is recommended to immediately follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment using medications such as phenytoin tablets or phenobarbital, carbamazepine, etc., and avoid self-medication or discontinuation of medication. If medication is not effective, surgical treatment may be considered. At the same time, maintain emotional stability, avoid overexertion, and closely monitor the child’s condition. Untreated or improperly treated epilepsy can rapidly worsen and cause severe harm to the child. Therefore, parents should pay close attention to their child’s condition and seek treatment early.
