Question

How to Treat Pediatric Psychomotor Epilepsy?

Answer

  1. Some parents may observe their children displaying unexplained crying, poor feeding, excessive calmness, and body stiffness before the age of six months, and may simply attribute these symptoms to the child’s young age, weak constitution, or common illnesses like a cold.
  2. For parents of premature infants who notice their child’s motor development lagging behind normal peers, they might consider this a natural consequence of prematurity and expect the child to recover as they grow, without seeking professional advice in a timely manner.
  3. When parents notice abnormal postures during their child’s movements, they may mistakenly believe it to be a skeletal or muscular issue, delaying medical treatment.
  4. Upon diagnosis of epilepsy, parents may seek various treatment methods blindly, hoping to improve their child’s motor dysfunction through traditional methods such as injections and medication.
