Patient's question:
Through many careful observations, I have noticed that certain parts of my child's body still experience twitching. Sometimes it's her head, and at other times, she says her armpits hurt. What is going on? Why does my child still have epilepsy symptoms even after taking medication? The help I need: I'm very urgent. Why does my child still have epilepsy symptoms even after taking medication?Doctor's answer:
This situation is present in some patients. When children have already started taking epilepsy medication, seizures can still occur again, and many parents believe that the medication is not working. In fact, epilepsy medication is usually taken in small doses and gradually increased until the appropriate and effective dose is achieved. Therefore, if seizures still occur in children who have already started taking medication, it is not necessarily drug resistance epilepsy. It is recommended to further adjust the medication and implement standardized treatment, while also paying attention to diet and rest.
