My child is having trouble with pronunciation. We saw a neurologist, and she sent us for an EEG just to be safe. It was our first time, and I'm terrified of the results. What could it possibly show? Anything serious? I've never even had an EEG myself 😬

An EEG can show if there's any activity.

We showed some ep activity of the benign type, thankfully it's benign and in small amounts.

We did it to rule out epilepsy. I don't know what else it's done for

Lyana My daughter's nighttime monitoring showed something. There were no symptoms, but it's important to rule out epilepsy, as certain medications and procedures are contraindicated with it.

Lyana Does this not affect normal life at all?

Lyana Epileptic activity can affect speech, memory, and cause various delays. Or it might not. But don't worry, really skilled specialists will thoroughly examine children before prescribing medications and procedures.

Lyana And before you started the night monitoring, did you not do the routine and daytime ones?

Lyana We did. But they weren't conclusive, the baby wouldn't stay still for even a second.

Lyana Thanks for your reply.
Mine was a one-hour and a three-hour sleep deprivation test. It didn't show anything, but problems still pop up occasionally: sleepwalking after a fever, or spasms at night from antiviral medication. I just can't stop worrying.
