Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know what's going on, my child keeps making loud screams, sometimes they also say their head hurts badly, and the headaches have become more noticeable recently. Later, after checking, it was found that they had epilepsy. What should be paid attention to in the treatment of epilepsy in children?Doctor's answer:
Which treatment method is most suitable for the patient's condition must be determined after a thorough understanding of the patient's symptoms, electroencephalogram (EEG), and other auxiliary examinations, and only after further clarification of the type of epilepsy in the patient. Some cases can be controlled with medication and are not suitable for surgery, while others are very suitable for surgery. In cases where surgery is suitable, the earlier it is performed, the smaller the impact on the patient's brain nerves. Medication can only control epilepsy seizures; once the medication is stopped or reduced, the seizures will recur. To completely eliminate epilepsy seizures, it is necessary to repair damaged neuron cells and balance their abnormal discharges. Currently, clinical practice mainly adopts the guided fusion intervention repair therapy. The specific treatment plan must be determined based on the patient's etiology, seizure type, and the extent of brain neuron damage to determine the optimal treatment plan.
