What should I do if medication cannot control epilepsy?

Patient's question:

My child is eight years old and has epilepsy. He is taking oxcarbazepine and Keppra, but his condition is still not under control. What should we do?

Doctor's answer:

Epilepsy is one of the common diseases in neurology. As long as it is a regular and professional hospital with strong technical expertise, a clear diagnosis, and active and appropriate treatment methods, about 80% of patients can achieve complete control and cure. Generally, municipal and provincial directly affiliated hospitals, affiliated hospitals of regular medical colleges, and regular military hospitals are trustworthy.
We know that pediatric epilepsy can cause significant harm to children. If it is not treated in time or if the treatment method is incorrect, its progression is rapid, and it can bring great harm to the child. Therefore, parents should pay close attention to their child's condition and take them for treatment promptly.
