Patient's question:
My daughter is 3 years old this year. She has always been in good health. Recently, I've noticed that her mouth corner twitches occasionally. I mentioned my daughter's condition to a friend, and they said this phenomenon might be a symptom of childhood epilepsy. I want to know what are the symptoms of childhood epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
Simply based on the child, there may be occasional multiple occurrences of oral twitching during daily life, which cannot be confirmed as a manifestation of pediatric epilepsy. Sometimes it is very likely just a habit of the child. It is also related to a lack of vitamins and trace elements in the body. Therefore, if you are not at ease, take the child to the hospital for a check-up. If necessary, an electroencephalogram (EEG) can be performed. If everything is normal, you can check the vitamins and trace elements in the blood. If there is a deficiency, replenish them promptly.
