What are the symptoms of childhood epilepsy?

Patient's question:

My son once fell from a height while playing by himself. At the time, he had several stitches on his head. Later, when he had moments of disorientation and was conscious, we took him to the hospital for an EEG. The doctor said it was epilepsy, and I couldn't believe it.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, many patients with epilepsy have a prodromal period before an attack, characterized by symptoms such as dizziness and stomach discomfort. In more severe cases, the attack may manifest as sudden loss of consciousness, respiratory arrest, limb convulsions, clenched fists, upward rolling of the eyes or black pupils deviating to one side, cyanosis, foaming at the mouth, often accompanied by tongue bites and incontinence. It is recommended to seek early treatment at a professional epilepsy hospital, adopting a repair-based treatment plan that targets and effectively repairs damaged neurons. This can completely restore damaged neurons and eliminate epilepsy attacks.
