The child in the family is only a few years old. Recently, even when walking normally, 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 been recurring quite frequently. I want 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, limb stiffness, blinking, jaw clenching, or arching of the feet, among other observable symptoms. Non-motor symptoms primarily involve non-physical movements and manifest as neurological symptoms, such as drowsiness, reduced mental alertness, or an inability to respond normally like a healthy individual.
