Patient's question:
The child is already in the first grade of elementary school. Previously, I just felt that the child's physical condition was not good. Later, the condition of frequent limb spasms gradually reappeared. Additionally, the condition of sudden fainting with foaming at the mouth also gradually reappeared. I really don't know what disease this could be. I heard that it might be child epilepsy. What kind of assistance is needed: Based on these current symptoms, is it actually child epilepsy? What are the symptoms of child epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of pediatric epilepsy also vary. Common symptoms of pediatric epilepsy also include tonic seizures or twitching of the hands and feet, loss of consciousness, and may also manifest as staring, sudden falls, constant nodding, drooling, dry swallowing movements, sucking movements, bending-like actions, and even headaches or dry retching. Generally, the symptoms of pediatric epilepsy are related to the location of the epileptic focus. If the epileptic focus is in the active area, it will cause limb convulsions. In the sensory area, it will cause sensory abnormalities, and in the visual area, it will cause visual abnormalities.
