Patient's question:
My child is 8 years old this year and has had epilepsy for 4 years. Every time he has a seizure, his limbs will twitch, his eyes will turn white, he will foam at the mouth, and he will also scream. Taking medicine and undergoing treatment has not improved, what should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hello! It is best to have someone who knows your condition well when you visit the hospital. Many patients experience a "seizure attack" disappearance after a period of treatment, but this does not mean they can stop taking medication. Medication should only be stopped after an EEG is normal for 2-3 years. The treatment course for this condition has strict time regulations. Dose reduction and modern views advocate for single-drug adjustment in dosage. Switching to other medications or stopping medication requires the advice and explanation of a neurology specialist.
