However, epilepsy usually has certain early symptoms when it occurs. Therefore, I hope that parents and friends can understand the early symptoms of epilepsy in children in detail so that they can take better care of their children.

Sensory auras: Symptoms of epilepsy include seeing moving or stationary light spots, apertures, sparks, black spots, a mass of monochrome or colorful things, etc.; Taste auras: including bitter, sour, salty, sweet, greasy and other uncomfortable tastes in the mouth; Olfactory: smelling unpleasant odors, such as fishy and burnt odors; Auditory: buzzing, ringing, and bell sounds in the ears, etc.

3. Somatosensory: Symptoms of epilepsy in children include numbness and tingling of limbs; tremors of muscles or muscle groups, vocalization or chewing, turning of the head and eyes to one side; palpitations, shortness of breath, respiratory distress, sweating, blushing, gastrointestinal discomfort, etc. In addition, the precursors of childhood epilepsy symptoms should be distinguished from short-term seizures.
