Dr. C. P. Ravi Kumar, Consultant - Pediatric Neurology at Aster Whitefield Hospital, discusses epilepsy in children. Epilepsy is a brain disorder that causes recurrent seizures. In children, it can be particularly challenging as it can interfere with development and daily life.
What is a Seizure?
A seizure occurs when there's an abnormal surge of electrical activity in the brain. This can cause a variety of symptoms, from mild staring spells to severe convulsions.
Treatment for Epilepsy
It's important to note that every child with epilepsy is different. Treatment plans should be individualized based on the type of seizures, age, and overall health of the child. If you suspect your child may have epilepsy, it's essential to consult with a pediatrician or neurologist. Early diagnosis and treatment can make a significant difference in a child's life.
The Pediatric Neurology department at Aster Whitefield Hospital provides treatment for epilepsy.
