Question
What are the symptoms of pediatric epilepsy?
Answer
Pediatric epilepsy, commonly known as “sacred epilepsy,” is a attack disease caused by various factors. The symptoms can be diverse, including generalized and focal seizures. During an attack, children may exhibit a variety of symptoms, so parents need to carefully record and describe these symptoms for accurate diagnosis by the doctor. EEG examination is an important means of diagnosing epilepsy, but it does not clarify the cause in all cases. Once diagnosed with epilepsy, medication should be taken continuously under the doctor’s instructions for 2-4 years, and regular follow-ups should be scheduled while ensuring safety, adequate rest, and controlling the progression of the disease. In the case of normal intelligence, children should attend school and maintain a regular lifestyle.
