Question
What are the symptoms of pediatric epilepsy?
Answer
The symptoms of pediatric epilepsy can basically be divided into two categories: those with movement and those without. Symptoms with movement include physical activities, or skeletal muscle spasms that cause facial expressions, such as twitching or stiffness of limbs, blinking, clenching of the jaw, or foot arch inversion – symptoms that can be felt. Symptoms without movement are mainly neurological, manifesting as drowsiness or a decrease in consciousness, making it impossible to respond like a normal person.
