What should epilepsy patients do if they have adverse reactions?

Patient's question:

What should be done if epilepsy patients have adverse reactions to medication? My child was recently diagnosed with epilepsy, and the doctor prescribed medication, but why does my child vomit and feel pain every time they take it? What kind of help is needed: What should be done if epilepsy patients have adverse reactions to medication?

Doctor's answer:

Due to the varying degrees of tolerance each patient has to different drugs, many patients may experience recurrent discomfort symptoms while taking antiepileptic drugs, which is also a normal reflection. Once adverse symptoms are detected, they should be taken seriously, and a follow-up visit to a regular hospital is recommended. In rare cases, patients may experience red rashes (such as urticaria or measles) again (they can occur on the limbs, torso, or face, and may be itchy), which is a drug allergy reaction. This can lead to systemic harm, such as systemic effects, fever, and even life-threatening conditions.
