Question
What are the symptoms of severe pediatric seizures?
Answer
Severe epileptic seizures are a particularly severe form of epilepsy. Patients may experience sudden collapse due to the recurrence of the disease. This situation is caused by epilepsy leading to loss of consciousness, with abnormal brain conditions causing the patient’s body to suddenly become rigid and then experience intense pain. Depending on the situation, other symptoms such as biting the tongue, urinary incontinence, blue face color, screaming, and foaming at the mouth may also occur. The severity of these symptoms can be significant and may last longer than other episodes. If the seizure lasts too long, it can be life-threatening. Parents should seek immediate medical attention at the hospital for their child.
