Patient's question:
Does pediatric epilepsy affect intelligence? The child next door is very cute, but I didn't see him when I came back from working overseas this time. Later, my family told me that the child has epilepsy. He had a severe attack a few days ago and is now being treated in the hospital. I want to know what the specific symptoms are.Doctor's answer:
Due to the different types of epilepsy seizures, the clinical manifestations also vary. For example, in grand mal epilepsy, the main symptoms include limb convulsions, foaming at the mouth, and loss of consciousness. In absence seizures, the main symptoms are sudden staring, the abrupt cessation of ongoing actions, and amnesia after the episode. It is best to consult with a reputable public hospital in your local area for clarification and undergo detailed examination and treatment. Based on the patient's symptoms, the focus should be explored for additional treatment.
