A three-year-old girl has been experiencing a condition of crossed legs stretched out for over a year, with clear consciousness but the ability to be interrupted, and unpredictable attack frequencies, occurring every few days. There is a suspicion that it might be epilepsy. Is this a symptom of epilepsy? She has undergone two EEG tests, with the first revealing abnormal discharges. How can we confirm whether it is epilepsy? Thank you.

Understanding Dietary Guidance for Pediatric Epilepsy Patients

Epilepsy patients should pay attention to a diverse diet, consume more foods rich in protein and phospholipids to aid in brain function recovery and reduce the frequency of seizures. Additionally, they should increase their intake of magnesium, especially for those on long-term medication.

Epilepsy is a brain disorder characterized by recurring seizures caused by abnormal discharge of neurons, leading to temporary brain dysfunction. Symptoms include, but are not limited to, motor, sensory, consciousness, autonomic, and mental functional impairments. Commonly used medications for treating epilepsy include phenytoin, carbamazepine, phenobarbital, ethosuximide, and clonazepam.

An infant is experiencing daily episodes of vertigo, excessive blinking with eyes closed, clenched teeth, and a drooping right lip. The child had a fever a month ago. Recently, she has been losing consciousness suddenly without limb stiffness, waking up with delayed reaction as if she had fallen asleep. Sometimes, she loses consciousness and then wakes up with drooling. Occasionally, she loses consciousness and then smiles upon waking, making it difficult to tell if she has truly lost consciousness or if she is playing. Additionally, her temper has become very bad.

Epilepsy patients may experience precursor conscious symptoms before a recurrence, such as abnormal sensations, chest tightness, discomfort in the upper abdomen, fear, drooling, difficulty hearing, and blurred vision. Therefore, the patient should quickly return to a safe place before the onset of an epilepsy seizure, and seek preventive measures to avoid accidental injuries.
