How to determine if a baby has epilepsy

Patient's question:

Hello, my baby is 3 years old. He sleeps well, but suddenly he clenches his hands tightly, trembles, has eyes, and doesn't respond when called. It lasted for about 5 minutes before it improved. He went back to sleep, but then he started crying and eventually vomited.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the main symptoms of a seizure include sudden loss of consciousness, followed by tonic-clonic convulsions. It is often accompanied by screaming, bluish complexion, incontinence, bitten tongue, foaming at the mouth or blood foam, and dilated pupils. The convulsions usually last for several seconds or minutes before stopping naturally, and the person enters a state of unconsciousness. It is recommended to go to the hospital for proper examination to confirm the diagnosis and receive timely treatment.
