Previously, it was noticed that this condition is caused by pediatric epilepsy. Which department is most suitable for treating pediatric epilepsy? What kind of help is needed: Which department is most suitable for treating pediatric epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to go to a Class III-A hospital's neurology department or a specialized epilepsy hospital and make an appointment with a neurologist for a thorough examination. If the child is young, an electroencephalogram (EEG) is sufficient at this stage. The symptoms of pediatric epilepsy include foaming at the mouth, eyes rolling upward, and fever. Additionally, medication for epilepsy patients must be determined based on individual symptom characteristics of the epilepsy, choosing appropriate drugs and dosages according to the patient's condition to reduce medication non-compliance in children and prevent refusal to take medication. Epilepsy patients can try traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), as many TCM formulations have been proven to have significant anti-epileptic effects, following the concept of integrating Chinese and Western medicine for dual-effective epilepsy treatment.
