Question
The child suddenly had a seizure and vomited foam after playing at home at 10 AM. Last year, similar symptoms were triggered by a low fever. The hospital examination now reveals an abnormal waveform on the electroencephalogram and severe calcium deficiency. I am worried whether it could be epilepsy, as there is no family history of the condition.
Answer
Hello, based on the description, the child’s symptoms may be related to epilepsy, typically accompanied by body convulsions, vomiting foam, and brief loss of consciousness. It is recommended to avoid strenuous exercise (violent exercise) and excessive excitement, reduce the intake of irritating food, and pay attention to rest and warmth. If the symptoms occur again, seek medical treatment as soon as possible for professional treatment, which can help improve the situation.
