What are the symptoms of childhood epilepsy?

Epilepsy in children is a relatively common disease. We know that epilepsy is a chronic disease of brain dysfunction caused by abnormal discharges of brain neurons. This disease is difficult to treat and is very harmful to children. Children often have sudden attacks, which can cause impaired consciousness. Once the disease occurs, it will be serious, and the child will foam at the mouth and have dilated pupils, which will have a great impact on intelligence.

1. Symptoms of epilepsy in children include autonomic epilepsy:

Symptoms of epilepsy in children include varying degrees of impaired consciousness during an attack, drowsiness after the attack, and attacks that last from minutes to hours, or even 1-2 days. The frequency of attacks is uncertain and may manifest as abdominal pain, vomiting, and headaches.

2. The symptoms of epilepsy in children include systemic epilepsy:

Sudden loss of consciousness, breathing stops, foam comes out of the mouth, pupils are dilated, eyes roll up or tilt to one side, limbs become rigid, and fists begin to twitch. The attack lasts for 1-5 minutes, and the patient is unconscious or drowsy after the attack, and wakes up after several hours.

3. Symptoms of epilepsy in children include psychomotor epilepsy:

The main manifestations are oropharyngeal movements or visceral symptoms. Such as unconscious chewing, drooling, swallowing movements, sucking movements, nausea, etc. Children may see or hear objects and sounds that people around them cannot see or hear, and some children can smell special odors.

4. Symptoms of epilepsy in children include partial epilepsy:

A seizure of local muscles or limbs of the body. The duration may be relatively long, and there is generally no loss of consciousness. After a severe attack, the muscles in the convulsion area may be temporarily paralyzed.

5. There is one last symptom of epilepsy in children

When an attack occurs, there is a lot of phlegm, gurgling in the throat, the eyes are staring, the mind is in a trance, like dementia, loss of consciousness, or falling to the ground, the hands and feet have not very obvious convulsions, or local twitching, and the intelligence gradually declines. This is called phlegm epilepsy.

I believe that everyone now has a clear understanding of the symptoms of epilepsy in children. Epilepsy in children is a chronic disease, and the treatment of epilepsy in children takes a period of time. During the treatment process, the child needs to bear the harm of epilepsy, and the parents will also suffer emotional harm. In order to minimize the harm of epilepsy, parents must be clear about the symptoms of epilepsy and grasp the opportunity for treatment in time. I hope the above introduction will be helpful to everyone.
