Question
During play, the child suddenly becomes unresponsive, no matter how they are called. After the parents take the child to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor diagnoses it as epilepsy. The parents are very worried about what kind of harm epilepsy may cause to their child?
Answer
Frequent seizures in pediatric epilepsy may affect a child’s social, psychological, and physical health, and increase the risk of accidental injuries. Seizures can occur at any time, place, or environment and cannot be controlled by the individual, leading to falls, burns, drowning, traffic accidents, or even death in severe cases.
