Don't know what to do, it hasn't gotten better after so long of treatment. What kind of help is needed: What are the causes of epilepsy in children?Doctor's answer:
The causes of children's epilepsy are also very numerous, but the most fundamental factor is triggered by local abnormal pulses in the cerebral cortex. Common factors: 1. Generational inheritance factors. Epilepsy is often related to generational inheritance. Generational inheritance can lead to abnormal brain pulses, causing the recurrence of epilepsy, manifested as autosomal dominant generational inheritance. 2. Prenatal factors. If the mother takes stimulating drugs during pregnancy, it may cause congenital metabolic defects in the fetus, leading to abnormal brain development and abnormal blood vessels in the brain. Additionally, maternal illness during pregnancy and hereditary convulsions are among the factors that can lead to epilepsy. 3. Factors during childbirth. Various types of birth injuries, intracranial or extracranial infections in the fetus, are among the factors that can lead to epilepsy. This condition is very treatable, so it is best to seek treatment as early as possible.
