Patient's question:
Currently taking topiramate.Now it's hot, but the child doesn't sweat. The child is now 7 years old.
This medication has been taken for 8 months.
Now, the child gets red all over when moving and has a fever of 37.6°C.
What should be done?
Doctor's answer:
Medications have side effects. Western medicine classifies epilepsy into two major categories based on different causes: idiopathic epilepsy and secondary (symptomatic) epilepsy. The clinical manifestations are characterized by recurrent brief loss of consciousness, limb spasms, and convulsions. The treatment medication varies depending on the severity of the seizures. Therefore, it is important to determine the underlying cause. If the epilepsy is secondary, it can be cured after the primary disease is treated.
