Question
A two-year-old girl today experienced her first seizure, with symptoms occurring every two hours. Apart from an EEG, no significant abnormalities were found in other tests. Are these symptoms indicative of epilepsy?
Answer
Based on the described situation, epilepsy can be considered, with possible symptoms including sudden limb convulsions and foaming at the mouth. An EEG can help confirm the diagnosis. Advice: If these symptoms occur, it is recommended to use medications such as Keppra, Depakene, etc., under a doctor’s guidance for treatment, and to avoid overeating as well as preventing the child from getting angry or crying loudly.
