What Are the Early Symptoms of Pediatric Epilepsy?

Question

A 2-year-old boy, male, always has body twitches and loves to sweat. Are these symptoms indicative of an early onset of epilepsy?

Answer

One, the clinical manifestations of adult epilepsy patients refer to the hallucinations, illusions, automatism, focal myoclonus, or other special sensations that occur within a few seconds before a major seizure. Some psychomotor seizures can also present with prodromal symptoms similar to major seizures. Two, the clinical manifestations of epilepsy patients refer to the general discomfort, irritability, restlessness, depression, mood swings, frequent nitpicking, or complaining about others that may occur several days or hours before a major seizure. These are a type of clinical manifestation symptoms for epilepsy patients. Three, severe cases of epilepsy patients may present with sudden loss of consciousness, temporary cessation of breathing, limb twitching, fists clenched, eyes rolled up or the black sclera shifted to one side, blue complexion, vomiting foam, often accompanied by tongue bites and incontinence. Four, emotional prodromes include anxiety, unease, depression, fearfulness, etc., with fear being the most common. Hallucinations and illusions may occur where things and scenes that do not exist are perceived. As a type of clinical manifestation in epilepsy patients, these should be noted by patients.
