Question
A two-and-a-half-year-old girl suddenly developed symptoms of clenched jaws, white eyes, and unusual lips after she had a fever.
Answer
These symptoms could be indicative of epilepsy, a clinical phenomenon caused by abnormal and excessive synchronous discharge of neurons in the brain. It is characterized by sudden and temporary seizures or loss of consciousness. It is recommended to undergo an electroencephalogram (EEG) first, and phenytoin may be used for treatment if necessary.
