What Are the Early Symptoms of Epilepsy?

Question

My son has epilepsy, and I want to know what the early symptoms are.

Answer

Early symptoms of epilepsy may include sudden stops in activity, staring, abnormal behavior, and a lack of expression. These symptoms often occur without the patient’s awareness and can last for several minutes to several hours. Additionally, the patient may exhibit unconscious chewing, drooling, swallowing movements, sucking actions, and nausea. These symptoms are quite apparent, so if you notice your child displaying these signs, it is important to seek medical attention promptly.
