What are the early symptoms of childhood epilepsy?

The initial symptoms of pediatric epilepsy may vary depending on the type of epilepsy, but generally include the following aspects: 1. Generalized seizures: May involve loss of consciousness, staring or closure of the eyes, limb rigidity, frothing at the mouth, and may be accompanied by persistent convulsions. 2. Focal seizures: Symptoms may be more localized, such as twitching of the face, neck, or part of a limb, and consciousness may not be lost during the seizure. 3. Behavioral abnormalities: Some children may experience reading-induced seizures, such as twitching at the corner of the mouth, or minor seizures during meals, such as dropping and breaking tableware. 4. Premonitory symptoms: Some children may experience transient loss of consciousness, illusions, or hallucinations shortly before a seizure. If the above symptoms occur, it is recommended to seek timely medical attention for evaluation and treatment by a specialist to control the condition.
