Question
A 11-year-old boy has recently experienced abnormal physical symptoms. What are the typical symptoms of pediatric epilepsy?
Answer
In clinical diagnosis, the typical symptoms of epilepsy include sudden loss of consciousness, falling to the ground, convulsions of the limbs, foaming at the mouth, or emitting abnormal sounds, and then returning to normal after the seizure. If symptoms occur repeatedly, consider the possibility of epilepsy. It is recommended that parents take their child to a local hospital for a detailed examination to confirm the diagnosis and treat the underlying cause. At the same time, attention should be paid to the child’s diet and lifestyle habits, avoiding spicy foods, preventing overeating, not drinking strong tea or stimulants, and maintaining a calm mood, as this is also important for controlling the condition.
