Patient's question:
The daughter is now 16 years old and has been taking medication for over five years. Currently, there are still seizures during treatment. The onset of seizures started from the age of seven. Since the age of 11, she has been taking "Depakote Sodium Extended-Release Tablets" and "Lamotrigine Tablets," taking half a tablet each in the morning and one tablet each in the evening.Doctor's answer:
Hello, epilepsy is generally treated with antiepileptic drugs such as carbamazepine or phenytoin. If conservative treatment is not effective, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination to see if surgical treatment is possible.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 can be very rapid, bringing great harm to the child. Therefore, it is important to seek professional medical treatment in a regular hospital in a timely manner. This is the key.
