Question
How to treat the issue of children having seizures without fever?
Answer
Based on the patient’s description, the child exhibits seizure symptoms without fever, accompanied by indigestion and throat inflammation. Although the brain examination has shown no abnormalities, it is advised to conduct more detailed EEG examinations, such as video EEG. Since frequent seizures can have a severe impact on a child’s brain development, even if the current examination results are normal, treatment according to epilepsy symptoms may still be necessary. Additionally, regarding parents’ concerns about medication side effects, although these side effects can be prevented and controlled, medication treatment is still recommended compared to the potential brain damage from untreated seizures.
