Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I ave noted the child's symptoms. Based on that, we need to exclude a diagnosis of seizure disorder or epilepsy.
Sleep deprived EEG would help in confirming or excluding a diagnosis of epilepsy.
Please keep me informed about the EEG report. There are good medications to treat seizures.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
