Patient's question:
My son has epilepsy. For many times, as parents, we bear a great responsibility because we did not notice the child's abnormality in the first place. Fortunately, the child is still in the early stage now. I want to know what the early symptoms of epilepsy are. Seeking 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 risk of biting their own tongue. If the seizure enters a persistent state, it can threaten the patient's life. In the early stages, patients may suddenly stop moving, stare blankly, appear mentally disturbed, and have a blank expression, which can last from several minutes to several hours. Some patients may also chew unconsciously, drool, perform swallowing movements, sucking movements, nausea, and other symptoms. These symptoms are very obvious.
