How Does a Child with Epilepsy Present Themselves?

Question

How do the symptoms and presentations of a child with epilepsy appear?

Answer

Epilepsy can occur at any age from childhood to old age, with a wide variety of types and treatment methods, posing significant harm to patients. Epileptic seizures often occur suddenly, and a child may suddenly lower their head, lift their fingers, lower their upper arm, bend their knees, and fall. In cases of remote attack, there may be a short-term loss of consciousness. The duration of the seizure is usually 15 to 20 seconds, rarely exceeding a minute.
