Question
A 10-year-old child has had episodes three to four times within about a year, with symptoms including seizures, vomiting white foam, rolling eyes, and weakness. They have undergone examinations but have not yet taken any medication or received treatment. How can they prevent further episodes and what treatments are available?
Answer
Based on the description, the symptoms may indicate epilepsy. Epilepsy can have various causes, including trauma, brain injury, tumors, and vascular diseases. It is recommended to visit a large hospital for brain scans and electroencephalogram (EEG) tests as soon as possible. After diagnosis, follow the doctor’s instructions to take anti-epileptic medications, and be cautious with diet, enhancing nutrition, and avoiding irritating foods that may trigger the disease, such as mutton and coffee.
