Question

A seven-month-old baby suddenly rolled their eyes, drooled, turned blue around the lips, clenched their fists, and their feet curled tightly, lasting about 20 seconds. The question is whether there are any diagnostic instruments available in the case of no previous illness.

Answer

After excluding factors such as fever and injury, epilepsy can be diagnosed through dynamic electroencephalography, and it is recommended to consult a provincial hospital. Epilepsy can have a significant impact on children, and timely and correct treatment is crucial; otherwise, it may progress rapidly and cause serious harm. Parents should pay close attention to their child’s condition and seek treatment promptly.
