Patient's question:
Hello, my second aunt's baby is three years old this year and has been diagnosed with epilepsy by the doctor. It's very painful to see the baby have seizures from time to time. I want to know how to treat pediatric epilepsy so that the baby can be cured as soon as possible.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the treatment of epilepsy can be divided into five aspects: controlling seizures, etiological treatment, surgical treatment, general hygiene, and prevention. Among these, the most important aspect is controlling seizures, and currently, medication is the primary approach. Clinically, antiepileptic drugs can be selected based on the type of epilepsy. Once a drug and dosage that can completely control seizures are identified, it should be used continuously. Generally, after the seizures are fully controlled and there are no adverse reactions, the medication should be continued for 3 to 5 years before considering discontinuation.
