Patient's question:
Doctor, my son is 13 years old. Recently, I've noticed that he often sways his head unconsciously, as if he's suddenly having a seizure. I'm a bit worried that he might have epilepsy. Hello, what are the early symptoms of epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of epilepsy vary from person to person. In the early stages, many people's symptoms may not be very obvious. However, the symptoms before the attack can include spitting foam, stiffness in the limbs, unclear speech, and vacant gaze, among many other different phenomena. Therefore, it is still necessary to take the child to a regular hospital for thorough examinations and diagnosis before symptomatic treatment. It is important to determine which type of epilepsy the child suffers from and then start symptomatic drug treatment as early as possible.
