Question

A 5-year-old boy was fine during the day but suddenly woke up at night, his breathing sounds like a rooster crowing, and he would cough and inhale air into his stomach. This would last for 7 or 8 seconds and then stop. This happens usually once at night, sometimes twice, and occasionally when he is sleeping during the day. This symptom has appeared in the past month.

Answer

Hello! Have you had an EEG done? Do you have any convulsive symptoms? For example, what are the signs of an epilepsy seizure? Suggestion: If you have these symptoms, it is recommended to go to the hospital for an EEG examination to see if there are any abnormalities and whether it is epilepsy.
