Question
My child is 7 years old and suddenly fainted at school, with foaming at the mouth and rolling eyes. Is this a sign of epilepsy? How should it be treated?
Answer
I have seen children crouching somewhere, looking like they are vomiting, and appearing very painful, which might be a seizure. Hello, seizures can sometimes be accompanied by nausea and vomiting. There may be a premonition before the seizure, which helps doctors locate the seizure focus. After a major seizure, headaches and nausea often occur due to increased intracranial pressure. The most important thing at this time is to reduce intracranial pressure, and rapid intravenous administration of mannitol can significantly alleviate symptoms. The above suggestions regarding whether epilepsy can cause vomiting symptoms are provided for your reference, and I wish you good health.
