Question
An eight-month-old baby girl experiences fainting, convulsions, upward rolling eyes, and foaming at the mouth whenever she has a fever. Could this be epilepsy? Does epilepsy cause fever?
Answer
Before an epilepsy seizure, patients may experience symptoms like dizziness and stomach discomfort as a warning sign. Severe cases may result in sudden loss of consciousness, temporary breathing stoppage, limb convulsions, clenched fists, upward rolling eyes, or deviation of the black part of the eye to one side, blue face color, foaming at the mouth, and possibly tongue biting and incontinence. Patients should not worry excessively, as epilepsy is a condition that can be clinically cured. It is recommended to maintain a positive attitude towards the disease. Wishing for a speedy recovery.
