The child has been taking medication for two years, but his complexion is poor and his lips are pale. What kind of help is needed: What should family members of epilepsy patients pay attention to in daily life?Doctor's answer:
The patient needs to take the antiepileptic medication on time and in the correct dosage. Once epilepsy is diagnosed, it is essential to suppress recurrence and prevent the reoccurrence of convulsions. The earlier the treatment begins, the better. This is because the more frequently and longer the seizures occur, the more likely it is that there is an increase in the existing epileptic focus. Some epilepsy patients and their families are more concerned about the side effects of antiepileptic drugs than the epilepsy itself, preferring to have multiple recurrences rather than take the medication.
