Suggest Treatment For Bed Wetting And Blank Stares In A Child
Hi Doctor Samuel,
My daughter is 7 years old. She doesn't like school very much and has recently started to stare blankly for a few seconds and cannot be interrupted. Its as if she is daydreaming and she has started accidentally wetting herself too. What shall I do?

Hi, thanks for asking.
I can understand your concerns.
In my opinion your child may have absence seizures, a type of epilepsy where the child just stares for a few seconds.I would suggest you get an EEG done for her which will be able to diagnose the epilepsy in her. The accidental wetting may also be a part of the seizure activity. I would suggest you see a paediatric neurologist who can do the EEG and prescribe appropriate anti epileptic drugs for her.
I hope I have helped you.
Thank you.

Hello dear, welcome to healthcare magic forum.
Blank stare with bed wetting, we have to rule out causes like seizure. This needs a neurological evaluation after a detailed history.
Kindly see your doctor for correct diagnosis and management. Thank you.
