Children with epilepsy have many different symptoms, and the manifestations vary depending on the type. Common symptoms include convulsive symptoms: blinking eyes, nystagmus, or twitching of the corners of the mouth, tonic or postural rigidity, and mild clonic jerks of the limbs. For example: apnea, changes in respiratory rhythm, flushing, drooling, and retching. Autonomic symptoms are more common in infants than in older children. Older children rarely have recurrences primarily characterized by autonomic symptoms. Common manifestations include simple automatisms of the mouth (such as biting the lips, chewing, dry swallowing, or sucking, which are more archaic movements), or purposeless, irregular movements of the trunk and limbs, which resemble normal activities.
