Question

My child has shown symptoms resembling a seizure, with prolonged muscle stiffness, whole-body trembling, and facial twitching. The episode occurred around 9:30 PM last night and lasted about a minute before the symptoms disappeared. The local doctor diagnosed it as a seizure disorder, and I hope to receive further assistance.

Answer

Based on your description, your child’s symptoms may be indicative of febrile convulsions or could be a manifestation of epilepsy. It is recommended that you visit a regular pediatric hospital for a detailed examination and undergo EEG or a 24-hour dynamic EEG test, as well as a brain CT scan if necessary. The final diagnosis will be determined by the professional doctor based on the examination results, and treatment will be provided accordingly. I hope your child recovers soon.
