What are the symptoms of pediatric trigeminal neuralgia?

  The symptoms of pediatric trigeminal neuralgia are the following: 1. Weakness and emaciation Children suffering from trigeminal neuralgia will generally look relatively thin and weak. The pain can be caused by the movement of the mouth and tongue or by external stimulation, often with a “trigger point”, which is painful when touched, mostly in the lips, nose, eyebrows and mouth, etc. For fear of causing an attack, patients often do not wash their faces and eat less so that their faces are dirty and thin, and in severe cases they are weak and bedridden.  2. Painful convulsions Through a clinical survey of children suffering from trigeminal neuralgia, it is found that about 60% of children, when the onset of the disease is often accompanied by ipsilateral or bilateral eye tearing and drooling. Occasionally, there is an uncontrollable twitching of the facial expression muscles, called “painful twitching”. Some of the skin is red, hot, and about 2.7% of the pains are mixed with chills, and occasionally there is severe itching.  3, periodic attacks Another symptom is the patient’s pain, which is usually periodic, with a short painless period (a few days to a few years), gradually and severely affecting eating and resting, resulting in pain, and self-healing is rare.
