Question
Is fever-free epilepsy in infants caused by diarrhea or indigestion, or is it due to epilepsy itself?
Answer
Fever-free epilepsy in infants may be related to electrolyte disturbances caused by diarrhea, but the possibility of epilepsy cannot be ruled out. It is recommended to undergo an EEG examination after one week to determine if it is indeed epilepsy. According to the blood count, the infant only has mild anemia, which is not severe. Treatment for diarrhea and dehydration should be prioritized at this time.
