Question
A 5-year-old child has been diagnosed with epilepsy. The parents want to ask whether an EEG test is necessary and, if so, when the earliest appointment can be scheduled. Since the parents are from out of town, they hope to get a quick response.
Answer
Generally speaking, there are not many patients needing EEG tests at the hospital, so there is no need for an appointment; you can go for the test during working hours. [Guidance]: Register at the cardiovascular-neurology department, request an EEG test from the doctor, who will issue a test order and instruct on payment matters. We understand that pediatric epilepsy can cause significant harm to children. If not treated promptly or with incorrect treatment methods, the condition may deteriorate rapidly, having a serious impact on the child. Therefore, we recommend that parents bring their child to a professional hospital for regular treatment as soon as possible, which is of utmost importance.
