Answer

Hello; This condition may be epilepsy, usually requiring a combination of clinical symptoms. Generally, if a child has seizures, frothing at the mouth, loss of consciousness, stiff limbs, and clenched jaws, it may be epilepsy. In such cases, blood tests may be normal, and further investigation with a cranial MRI can be conducted to confirm epilepsy. Antiepileptic treatments such as oxcarbazepine, valproate, and lamotrigine can be used. Pay attention to the side effects of antiepileptic medications and regularly check blood routine and liver and kidney function.
