Question
The child’s eyes are glazed over, and their eyes are rolling white. It happened at 4 AM. The child is less than 6 months old. They later recovered and seemed normal, but when we went to the hospital, they said it might be congenital epilepsy and genetic metabolism, but I don’t know what to do, and I don’t have the means to go to a big hospital.
Answer
When a child exhibits limb stiffness, it is relatively common for this to be due to high fever seizures following a cold or flu. It could also be caused by epilepsy attack resulting from abnormal brain discharge. It is recommended to take the child to the hospital immediately for temperature and routine blood tests. If the cause is high fever, timely fever-reducing treatment is needed; if there is no high fever but these symptoms occur, Brain Electroencephalogram dynamic monitoring should be conducted for accurate diagnosis and subsequent standardized treatment.
