Question
Hello: Is tongue thrusting and drooling between 5 and 7 AM a sign of epilepsy? Thank you.
Answer
Case Analysis: Epilepsy is a chronic recurrent short-term dysfunction of the brain characterized by abnormal discharge of neurons, causing recurrent convulsive seizures. The baby’s symptoms do not exclude this possibility. Guidance: The manifestation of epilepsy includes generalized tonic-clonic seizures, which involve the whole body’s muscle twitching and loss of consciousness. This is characterized by brief loss of consciousness. It may be necessary to have the child undergo a check-up.
