Question
What should I do if a 1-year-old child suddenly has a seizure while being held, twitches, and loses consciousness?
Answer
If you suspect the child might be having an epilepsy attack, it is advisable to rush to the hospital for an examination.Brain Electroencephalogram (EEG) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be conducted for early diagnosis and treatment. If epilepsy is confirmed, medication can be prescribed to control the symptoms. If other brain issues are discovered, appropriate symptomatic treatment should be taken. In terms of daily care, it is recommended to have the child examined promptly to avoid missing the treatment window. Early treatment is crucial.
