Patient's question:
My child's epilepsy is not controlled by medication. My child was diagnosed with epilepsy twenty-four days ago, and even with Tegretol, it is still not under control, with one to two seizures per day. I need help: My child's epilepsy is not controlled by medication, and a seizure is about to occur.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the child has epilepsy. The onset may be related to factors such as the mother's illness during pregnancy, difficult labor during delivery, brain hypoxia, brain injury, etc. The condition is uncontrolled, which may be due to an unreasonable dosage and choice of medication.Guidelines:
You can have a head CT and an electroencephalogram (EEG) done to confirm the diagnosis. Visit a pediatric neurology department and ask the doctor to adjust the child's medication. The condition should be controllable with proper treatment.
