Patient's question:
The child in the family is only a few years old. Recently, even though they walk properly, they will again experience symptoms of twitching in their hands and feet. Every time they twitch, they fall down. Recently, the child's condition has recurred quite frequently. I would like to understand what are the symptoms of pediatric epilepsy? What kind of help is needed: What are the symptoms of pediatric epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of pediatric epilepsy can basically be divided into two categories: motor and non-motor. Motor symptoms include physical movements, or facial expressions caused by skeletal muscle contractions, such as repetitive limb movements or limb stiffness, or blinking, or jaw clenching, or arching of the feet, and other observable symptoms. Non-motor symptoms primarily involve non-physical movements and manifest as neurological symptoms, such as drowsiness, reduced consciousness, or the inability to respond normally like a healthy individual.
