Patient's question:
What are the symptoms of pediatric epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
Children often feel weak in their hands and cannot hold things or frequently make faces. Don't think this is just a manifestation of a child's mischief. This could be a warning from pediatric epilepsy. Experts say that weakness in children's hands and making faces are signs of epilepsy.Epilepsy is a chronic disease whose clinical manifestations can include sudden loss of consciousness, weakness in the hands, and a tendency to make faces. Experts note that although the disease poses significant harm to children, if effective intervention is provided in the early stages, about 80% of children's conditions can be controlled. After a certain period of rehabilitation training, some may even achieve a cure. Some children may show weakness in their hands, often unable to hold the things given by their parents. Others may experience sudden loss of consciousness, such as a child who is happily playing or running suddenly falls down, or when eating, bowls and chopsticks suddenly drop to the ground. All of these are manifestations of pediatric epilepsy.
