What are the major symptoms of infantile epilepsy?

Answer

What are the major symptoms of infantile epilepsy? Here’s how to help:

  1. Before a seizure, an infant with epilepsy may experience discomfort, such as a sense of abnormality, chest tightness, upper abdominal discomfort, fear, drooling, smelling strange odors, hearing decreased or strange sounds, blurred vision, etc.
  2. During a seizure, some patients may first emit strange cries, then lose consciousness and fall, with the entire body experiencing muscle stiffness and difficulty breathing. The head and eyes may tilt to one side. A few seconds later, the patient may exhibit convulsions, eye twitching, and loss of consciousness as characteristic seizures of epilepsy. The duration and presentation of seizures vary from person to person. Different symptoms may appear before, during, and after a seizure.
