Patient's question:
What are the symptoms of epilepsy in the elderly? My mother had hand twitching and numbness in her mouth tonight. Is it a symptom of epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
Hello, there are many symptoms of epilepsy in the elderly. The most common symptoms are usually spitting foam and convulsions of the limbs. However, the symptoms are not very typical. For hand tremors, Jackson epilepsy cannot be ruled out. Therefore, it is necessary to go to the neurology department of the hospital for a follow-up examination. If it is Jackson epilepsy, it is also necessary to use antiepileptic drug treatment to control the disease and prevent damage to the body.
