Patient's question:
What symptoms are included in sudden epilepsy in children? When my 12-year-old younger brother laughs, his mouth corners are crooked. He has also gone to the children's hospital for follow-up this year, and the doctor said it is childhood epilepsy and prescribed Western medicine for intravenous infusion. Are there other treatment plans? What kind of help is needed: What symptoms are included in sudden epilepsy in children?Doctor's answer:
1. Early symptoms of pediatric epilepsy: In the early symptoms of pediatric epilepsy, the child sweats profusely on the head during diaper changes and deep sleep. The sweating leads to local irritation, causing the child to dislike being shaken. When shaking the head, the occipital region is rubbed, and over time, this may lead to acne. Additionally, the child is restless and easily startled during deep sleep.2. Severe seizures in pediatric epilepsy: Common forms include grand mal seizures, absence seizures, and psychogenic seizures. Grand mal seizures have the highest incidence. During recurrence, consciousness suddenly loses, breathing stops, foam may be expelled from the mouth, and limbs convulse. It may be accompanied by tongue bites and incontinence (uncontrolled urination). The duration lasts for 1 to 5 minutes, and the child falls asleep after the convulsions stop.
