Question
My child has a low-grade fever and is having seizures. The EEG shows mild abnormalities. What should I do?
Answer
Mild EEG abnormalities can be caused by various conditions affecting brain function, such as fever, coma, poisoning, side effects from certain medications, or hunger. These can all lead to abnormal EEG readings. When a child is diagnosed with mild EEG abnormalities, parents should closely monitor their child’s symptoms and promptly take them to the hospital for treatment to avoid misdiagnosis and delayed treatment.
