Patient's question:

Fortunately, the child is still in the early stage now. I want to know what are the specific early symptoms of epilepsy? Want to get help: What are the early symptoms of epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
Hello, epilepsy is a common neurological disease in clinical practice. Its clinical definition is: a chronic disease characterized by sudden abnormal discharges of brain neurons, leading to transient dysfunction of the brain. Seizures can cause physical harm to patients. During a seizure, the patient may experience rhythmic contractions of the entire body's muscles, and there is also a possibility of biting their own tongue. If a seizure occurs in a persistent state, it will endanger the patient's life. In the early stages, patients may suddenly stop moving, stare blankly, appear mentally unwell, and have a blank expression, which can last from several minutes to several hours. Some patients may also chew unconsciously, drool, swallow things, perform sucking movements, and feel nauseous. These symptoms are very obvious.
