The kind of help needed: Treatment methods specialized in pediatric epilepsyDoctor's answer:
For pediatric epilepsy, you can first check an electroencephalogram. If the focus can be clearly located, surgery can also be considered as a treatment method. If it cannot be clearly located, you can only resort to using many anti-epileptic drugs. Children's weight and height grow relatively quickly, so regular follow-up tests are needed. The dosage needs to be adjusted based on individual weight. Once the dose that suppresses your epilepsy seizures is found, it is generally necessary to continue taking the medication for 3 to 5 years.
