Question
A child exhibits abnormal behavior at specific times, including holding the pillow tightly, bending the legs, sweating, and making noises, but will cry when awakened and return to normal after sleep or waking. Is this behavior possibly epilepsy?
Answer
Experts believe this behavior is more likely to be emotional cross-leg syndrome, as the child cries when the pillow is taken away, indicating consciousness. Although there are abnormal EEGs suggesting a possibility of epilepsy, the symptoms do not consider it epilepsy. It is suggested to try wearing a jade bead for calming and pay attention to the usage and precautions of the jade bead.
