Question
Our child suddenly exhibited epilepsy symptoms at home, including irregular nodding of the head, staring blankly, and trembling of the limbs. We would like to know how to prevent the occurrence and attack of epilepsy in children.
Answer
Epilepsy is a neurological disorder of the brain, which can be categorized into primary and secondary types. For the situation you described, your child may have experienced a grand mal seizure. Treatment for this condition typically involves emergency measures, traditional Chinese medicine, or the use of anti-epileptic medications to reduce the frequency of seizures. Epilepsy has a certain hereditary component and is usually difficult to completely cure. Prevention measures may include careful medication management, avoiding known triggers, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
