What is the cause of the child's foaming at the mouth?

Epilepsy, also known as epilepsy, is a disease that occurs in a continuous state. If not treated in time, the patient may face the risk of shock or death.

Diseases such as various encephalitis and meningitis lead to inflammation and edema of the cerebral cortex, causing epilepsy in adults. In the sequelae period, epilepsy may also occur in adults due to scar formation in the brain parenchyma and meningeal adhesions.

The onset of epilepsy may also be caused by emotional stimulation, which leads to faster brain activity and abnormal discharges of brain nerves. Experts recommend reading: Early symptoms of epilepsy in children

Therefore, after having an attack in public, patients will gradually develop a sense of self-isolation, believing that it is undermining their dignity and will cause others to laugh at and talk about them. Epilepsy attacks have sudden and dramatic external symptoms, and people who do not understand epilepsy often feel very nervous and panic when witnessing an attack. This is one of the main reasons for people's discrimination against epilepsy patients.

Due to the existence of brain damage, it may leave behind mental retardation, memory loss, cerebral palsy, ADHD, learning difficulties, mental disorders, etc.

Epilepsy experts point out that there is an optimal treatment stage for epilepsy in children, and this stage must be grasped. The reason why many children with epilepsy do not receive timely treatment is partly due to ideological reasons, such as thinking that epilepsy is an incurable disease and wasting money, or because of this, the disease is delayed. This phenomenon is particularly evident in rural and underdeveloped areas of our country.
