Simon B., 4

Simon stays in Mahanga village with his grandmother and other family members, because his mother is still a student at Mahanga secondary school. Simon has just begun his kindergarten school and would like to be a teacher when he grows up; he likes to sit down next to his teacher in class. For a long time, Simon has been having convulsions but his grandmother, whom he lives with, has never brought him to hospital. The grandmother says that the frequency of the convulsions have since increased. The patient was discharged on August 1st.

Simon had been experiencing convulsions for a long time, but his grandmother, with whom he lives, had never taken him to the hospital. She mentioned that the frequency of his convulsions had increased over time. Thanks to Helpster Charity, Simon was able to see a specialist who provided treatment and prescribed medication. He will need to take this medication consistently to prevent further convulsions. Fortunately, the medication has effectively controlled his convulsions, and he is no longer experiencing them.

The patient should be treated with the anti-convulsant medications to suppress the symptoms. If left untreated, the condition and the following discomfort will remain. Often seizures present a risk for life.
