An 8 year old child has cramps in his left calf, calf pain, fatigue, irritability, and crying

Analysis: Convulsions are related to several reasons:

First, it is related to blowing electric fans, air conditioners or cold climates, under normal circumstances, the human body can not contact the cold noodles for too long, otherwise there will be convulsions, which is usually called cramps.

Second, it is a calcium deficiency during the child's growth and development, and third, the possible diagnosis is epilepsy. Epilepsy is a syndrome of abnormal discharge of neurons in the brain, causing the dysfunction of the central nervous system, the most characteristic is episodic (sudden occurrence, such as sudden convulsions during sleep, syncope, everything is normal during the intermittent period), transient (lasting for a few seconds, minutes or ten minutes, rarely more than half an hour, going to the hospital after the seizure and being fine), repetitive (symptoms are recurring, not just once,), stereotypical (each time the symptoms are very similar, the second seizure is the same as the first).

Severity or not depends on the circumstances. If the patient has a sudden attack while sleeping at home, there is no suffocation, falling, etc., it will not be life-threatening. However, if you are halfway across the street or walking alone on the embankment, the consequences can be severe.

There are many causes of epilepsy, and the ** of epilepsy needs to be adhered to regularly and for a long time. About 80% of patients can completely control seizures with current antiepileptic drugs, and after regular dose reduction, more than 50% of patients will never have the disease again. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that you go to a hospital with strong neurology department for a comprehensive examination (such as physical examination, electroencephalogram, cranial MR) as soon as possible to make a clear diagnosis and rules**.

Guidance: It is recommended that you: first, blow the fan again, and do not blow directly at the air conditioner, given a given time. When the climate is cold, take some heating measures for children, such as putting a hot water bottle in the quilt, and second, supplementing children with some calcium tablets.

Three, go to the hospital for a check-up, life care:
