A young girl age 12 has an illness that no one can identify or cure. when she was little she would burst out laughing for no reason and she could not control it and after a while she would stop laughing. About a year ago she developed an illness. one day she was sat down and suddenly she fell to the floor her eyes rolled back her body went stiff she started shaking and she grit her teeth tight it lasted 2-5 minuets it didn t look like she was conscious. And ever since the same thing happens to her, but sometimes spit comes out of her mouth. When she is conscious again she gets a really bad head ache. Can you help her in any way?

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi,

Have you consulted a doctor for this? How is her overall development and academic performance? This description fits into a seizure episode, which needs evaluation with blood electrolyte estimation, EEG test and sometimes a brain MRI scanning too. Depending on the findings and results, this may need treatment with anti epileptic drugs.
Kindly take her to a pediatrician or pediatric neurologist.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
