Patient's question:
What are the precautions for children with epilepsy to play in water?Doctor's answer:
Currently, both domestically and internationally, the treatment of epilepsy primarily relies on drug therapy. After receiving standardized antiepileptic drug treatment, approximately 70% of epilepsy patients can have their seizures controlled. Among these, 50% to 60% can achieve complete remission after 2 to 5 years of treatment, allowing them to work and live like normal people. Therefore, rational and standardized antiepileptic drug treatment is key.Antiepileptic drug therapy should, as far as possible, use monotherapy until it is effective or reaches the maximum tolerated dose. If monotherapy fails, combination therapy can be considered. It is preferable to use drugs with different mechanisms of action and minimal or no drug interactions. The rational combination of medications should aim for the best clinical outcomes and the least financial burden on the patient.
