Patient's question:
The baby is 9 years old and has been feeling unwell lately, but I don't know what's wrong. I'm very scared. Could you please tell me what the symptoms of pediatric epilepsy are?Doctor's answer:
The patient suddenly loses consciousness, followed by severe tonic-clonic pain, often accompanied by screaming, cyanosis, tongue bite, frothing at the mouth with white or bloody foam, and dilated pupils. The intense pain recurs after persisting for several seconds or minutes and then naturally subsides, leading to a state of coma. Other symptoms: Some patients experience varying degrees of impaired consciousness and significant disturbances in thinking, pain perception, emotions, and psychomotor function. Automatisms such as fugue state or sleepwalking may also be observed. Epilepsy is one of the common diseases in neurology. Early diagnosis of epilepsy, as long as it is understood and treated with standardized, systematic, and scientific methods, is crucial.
