Patient's question:
My child doesn't know how he contracted epilepsy. The doctor said that this condition requires taking antiepileptic drugs to suppress it. Currently, whenever the epilepsy recurs, he experiences hand and foot convulsions. He can't go without medication. I want to understand what to do if the medication for epilepsy has side effects.What kind of help is needed: What should be done if the medication for epilepsy has side effects?
Doctor's answer:
The treatment of epilepsy often requires the intake of many medications. This can often cause certain side effects of drugs to the children's bodies. It may lead to a decline in their immunity, making them more susceptible to other diseases. This can result in greater harm to the children, and may even leave severe psychological shadows on them, causing them to become quiet and reluctant to communicate. It may also lead to the development of psychological disorders in children.
