Question
My child is 4 years old and feeling unwell. I am very worried. What are the early symptoms of pediatric epilepsy?
Answer
The symptoms of pediatric epilepsy typically refer to recurrent seizures caused by abnormal impulses in brain nerve cells. In addition to obvious symptoms, there may also be changes in personality and mental confusion. Some symptoms may resemble sleep disorders such as night terrors and somnambulism, which require confirmation through an EEG. This situation requires close attention, as an EEG cannot confirm a diagnosis without an episode.
