Patient's question:
The child was diagnosed with pediatric epilepsy at the end of July last year. They have been taking Depakine half a tablet in the morning and evening, and Lamotrigine half a tablet in the morning and evening ever since. However, in the past week, they have frequently experienced convulsions, with two small relapses during that period.Previous treatment history and effectiveness: The diagnosis was made at 302 Hospital, and they have been taking the medication as recommended by the doctor.
The type of assistance needed: Should the dosage be increased, or are there other potential reasons? Please advise.
Doctor's answer:
Taking medication can inevitably cause certain side effects in children. At the same time, medication for epilepsy can only provide some suppressive effects, and it may require long-term medication, or even a lifelong condition. It is recommended that you consider "128-channel EEG-guided precise minimally invasive surgery" for your child to strive for a one-time self-recovery, which is safe and free from recurrence.At the same time, in daily life, your child should pay attention to avoiding excessive emotional fluctuations, not getting angry, not watching TV, or researching information. Dietary restrictions include avoiding spicy and irritating foods, as well as "trigger foods." It is advised that you seek medical treatment for your child as soon as possible. Wishing your child a speedy recovery.
