Question
A 13-month-old child experienced movements similar to shivering a week ago. After a neurological examination, the EEG revealed epileptic brain waves. Is this a case of epilepsy? Thank you very much!
Answer
The EEG shows an abnormal discharge, and a follow-up examination is recommended for confirmation. If diagnosed with epilepsy, it is important to start anti-epileptic medication treatment as soon as possible to prevent any impact on the child’s brain development.
