Question
How to diagnose pediatric benign epilepsy?
Answer
Based on the symptoms you described, it is considered that the child may have epilepsy. Epilepsy is a disease characterized by recurrent seizures caused by abnormal discharge of brain neurons. The causes may include genetics, meningitis, high fever, and post-traumatic sequelae. It is recommended that you take the child to the hospital for EEG and brain CT scans as soon as possible to confirm if epilepsy is present, and to receive symptomatic treatment based on the results. In addition, attention should be paid to allowing the child to rest more, avoiding overexertion, and maintaining a healthy diet, avoiding spicy and irritating foods.
