Question
My son has been suddenly fainting, foaming at the mouth, screaming, and scratching his hands for the past few months. After regaining consciousness, he is completely normal and forgets about his fainting episode. The doctor said it’s epilepsy, and he is currently taking medication, but seizures still occur. Generally speaking, what are the symptoms of pediatric epilepsy?
Answer
The symptoms of pediatric epilepsy include emotional manifestations such as anxiety, restlessness, depression, and fear, with fear being the most common. Hallucinations, illusions, seeing or sensing things that do not exist, and scenes are also one of the early symptoms. In addition, taste abnormalities include an unpleasant taste in the mouth, such as bitterness, acidity, saltiness, sweetness, or astringency; olfactory manifestations include smelling unpleasant odors such as fishy or burnt smells.
