Question
A 1.5-year-old child clutches their hands and has spasms while rolling their eyes white, but no cause has been found after examination. What could be the issue?
Answer
This condition may be a symptom of epilepsy caused by abnormal discharge of neurons in the brain. It is characterized by sudden onset of convulsions or loss of consciousness. It is recommended to undergo an EEG examination first, and if necessary, treatment with phenytoin sodium can be considered.
