Question

What Are the Early Symptoms of Pediatric Epilepsy?

Answer

Early symptoms of pediatric epilepsy may include frequent nodding, twitching, trembling, and staring. During a major seizure, symptoms may include loss of consciousness, temporary respiratory arrest, stiffening of limbs, and foaming at the mouth. In minor seizures, there may be brief loss of consciousness without twitching. It is recommended to take the child to a specialized epilepsy hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible to avoid delaying the condition.
