Question
A 9-year-old girl has been showing some unusual behavior recently. What are the symptoms of childhood epilepsy?
Answer
Clinically, common symptoms of childhood epilepsy include sudden loss of consciousness, falling, convulsions of the limbs, foaming at the mouth, or abnormal cries. After regaining consciousness, patients often appear no different from others, and these seizures may occur repeatedly. It is recommended to take the child to the hospital for relevant examinations and to get an early diagnosis and treatment. Pay attention to the child’s diet and lifestyle, avoid spicy foods, avoid overeating and drinking strong tea, and maintain a comfortable mood are also important.
