Is benign epilepsy more common in children?

Pediatric epilepsy is usually called benign childhood epilepsy. Parents are still quite worried about this disease because it is a chronic disease that is prone to recurring, especially during the onset of the disease. If it is not treated and responded to in a timely and effective manner, it may cause the patient to lose consciousness in severe cases. Therefore, when facing benign childhood epilepsy, we should pay attention to the correct response and solution.

1. Parents must know that epilepsy is a chronic disease, and this disease will recur. The incidence of epilepsy in children is very high. Patients with epilepsy must take medication for a long time. Once the medication is stopped, it will cause another attack, and each time it is more serious than the last. During the attack, it is often accompanied by screaming and foaming at the mouth. This will endanger their own life safety. In the most serious cases, loss of consciousness will occur.

2. Parents must pay attention to the fact that children often have twitching of one side of the facial muscles at the beginning of an attack, followed by twitching of the upper and lower limbs on the same side, and then developing into twitching of the whole body. Sometimes this process develops very quickly, and when parents discover it, the child is already convulsing all over the body. If the child has woken up before the attack, he or she will often have oropharyngeal symptoms, such as increased saliva, swallowing sounds in the larynx, and some abnormal sensations in the mouth.

3. Parents must understand that when children develop epilepsy, they should first go to a regular hospital for diagnosis and not blindly receive treatment. With the development of modern Chinese medicine technology, new treatment options for epilepsy have also emerged, which can activate neuropeptide regeneration, repair neuropeptide activity, allow neuropeptides to be synthesized within nerve cells and released normally at synapses, and bind to corresponding receptors on the postsynaptic membrane, thereby controlling epileptic seizures.

4. Parents must pay attention to their children's personal hygiene in daily life, take their children to a large hospital for formal treatment and a comprehensive examination, and actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment. In daily life, children must drink more water, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, exercise appropriately, and develop good living habits.
