Question
What are the early symptoms of pediatric epilepsy? Are these early symptoms enough to determine the condition?
Answer
The main early symptoms include sudden loss of consciousness, followed by tonic-clonic convulsions. These are often accompanied by screaming, cyanosis of the face, incontinence, tongue biting, frothing or blood from the mouth, and dilated pupils. It is recommended that you take your child to a hospital for an early diagnosis to prevent the condition from worsening.
