Question
What causes staring spells in children?
Answer
Based on the child’s description, epilepsy seizures cannot be ruled out. It is recommended to conduct a long-term video EEG examination during seizures to confirm the presence of seizure activity. Since the intervals between seizures are long, it is not advisable to immediately administer anti-epileptic medications but rather adjust the treatment plan when abnormalities occur. Pay attention to reducing the child’s fatigue, avoiding catching a cold, and consuming more fruits and vegetables, avoiding spicy and irritating foods, and maintaining a regular diet and lifestyle.
