Question
What are the common symptoms of pediatric epilepsy?
Answer
The early symptoms of epilepsy can manifest in a variety of different hallucinations, illusions, and unconscious movements, such as sucking, chewing, biting lips, and unbuttoning clothes. The characteristic of pediatric epilepsy is sudden, brief loss of consciousness, with no symptoms of anorexia after the seizure. During the seizure, speech may be interrupted, movement stops, and the body remains in a fixed posture without falling. Sometimes the face may become pale, without muscle twitching, lasting for 2-10 seconds and not exceeding 30 seconds. Consciousness is quickly restored, and normal activities resume.
