Patient's question:
My two-year-old child at home doesn't know how it always suddenly faints, and after falling down, their hands and feet start twitching uncontrollably. The duration is very short, and they recover quickly. We took them to the hospital for a thorough examination, and they said it was epilepsy. I want to know what are the early symptoms of childhood epilepsy? What kind of help is needed: What are the early symptoms of childhood epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy, also known as "" (febrile convulsions), is a common and complex neurological syndrome characterized by recurrent episodes in childhood. The causes are divided into two types: primary and secondary. Clinically, it manifests as repeated muscle convulsions, as well as transient abnormalities in consciousness, sensation, and emotion. It is primarily caused by incomplete development of the child's nervous system, leading to excessive abnormal pulses in the cerebral cortex due to stimulation.
