Patient's question:
The grandmother of a child aged X had epilepsy in the past, but the child has not yet shown any abnormalities.Doctor's answer:
During petit mal epilepsy, patients exhibit brief loss of consciousness, usually lasting only a few seconds, without convulsions or spasms. Their face may turn pale or red, and children may appear dizzy in place. These symptoms are often easily overlooked. Focal epilepsy typically manifests as localized spasms or convulsions in the hands, feet, face, or other parts of the body. If any of these symptoms are observed, it is essential to seek medical attention for examination and treatment, and to adhere to medication as prescribed by the doctor.
