Patient's question:
The son has been experiencing sudden unconscious fainting episodes for the past few months, accompanied by foaming at the mouth, screaming uncontrollably, and even scratching his own hands. However, once he regains consciousness, he behaves completely normally and has no memory of the fainting episodes. My brother, very concerned, took him to the children's hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor diagnosed him with epilepsy, and he has been taking medication ever since. However, he still has episodes. What assistance is needed: What are the typical symptoms of epilepsy in children?Doctor's answer:
