Patient's question:
I am currently experiencing some strange hand tremors, often twitching when doing things, my head starts shaking uncontrollably, and even sitting down can cause leg cramps and hand spasms. No matter what I do, I feel a bit off, and my expression is also very strange. I often suddenly fall to the ground and twitch uncontrollably, foaming at the mouth, which is quite unsettling. After a thorough check, it was discovered that it is epilepsy, but I don't know what the symptoms of pediatric epilepsy are or what kind of help is needed: What are the common symptoms of pediatric epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
Muscles of the face and limbs exhibit clonic convulsions, respiratory rate is rapid and irregular, often with tongue bite, and there may be urinary and fecal incontinence. Recurrences last for 1-5 minutes, followed by loss of consciousness or anorexia, with recovery after several hours.Minor recurrences are characterized by sudden recurrence of brief loss of consciousness, followed by anorexia. During recurrence, speech is interrupted, movement stops, and the body is fixed in a certain position without falling; both eyes stare blankly. Sometimes the face becomes pale without muscle convulsions, recurrences last for 2-10 seconds (not exceeding 30 seconds), with rapid and complete recovery of consciousness and normal motor function.
