What are the symptoms of pediatric epilepsy?

Pediatric epilepsy is a complex neurological syndrome with diverse symptoms, mainly including: 1. Generalized tonic-clonic seizures: The child may suddenly lose consciousness, fall to the ground, experience apnea, frothing at the mouth, generalized tonic convulsions, and even urinary or fecal incontinence, gradually recovering after several minutes. 2. Absence and myoclonic seizures: Absence seizures involve sudden staring or upward eye rolling, unresponsiveness, and interruption of activity or speech. Myoclonic seizures involve brief jerking movements of the face, upper limbs, neck, or trunk. 3. Focal seizures: Brief episodes of twitching or numbness with tingling sensations may occur on one side of the mouth, eyelid, fingers, toes, or one side of the face and extremities. 4. Psychomotor seizures: These resemble absence seizures but last longer and may be accompanied by various illusions, hallucinations, and unconscious movements. Parents should closely monitor their child's health. If any abnormalities are noticed, prompt medical attention is necessary.
