Patient's question:
What should family members of epilepsy patients pay attention to in daily life? Does taking antiepileptic drugs have side effects on the child's body? The child has been taking medication for two years and has poor complexion and pale lips. 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 important to suppress recurrence and prevent the reoccurrence of convulsions. The earlier the treatment begins, the better. This is because the more frequent and prolonged the recurrences, the more it indicates an increase in the existing epileptic foci. 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.
