Inquiry
The child is 18 months old and sometimes cries so intensely that they have seizures, with their eyes wide open and stiff, lasting about half a minute before vomiting the contents of their stomach. They soon regain consciousness. What could be the possible causes?
Answer
Based on the description, the child’s symptoms of seizures, stiffness, and vomiting may be related to epilepsy. It is recommended to undergo an EEG (Electroencephalogram) examination, especially a sleep EEG, for a definitive diagnosis. Please continue to monitor the child’s symptoms and avoid taking them to dangerous places.
