Patient's question:
Doctor, my son is three and a half years old and has been taking medication for three and a half years. He had normal EEGs last September and this March. Since starting medication, he hasn't had any seizures. Can the medication be reduced?Doctor's answer:
It is appropriate to reduce the medication dosage, but it is still recommended that you go to the hospital for a follow-up check to see if your primary physician suggests reducing the medication dosage. We know that pediatric epilepsy can cause significant harm to children. If it is not treated in a timely manner or if the treatment method is incorrect, its progression can be rapid, bringing great harm to the patient. Therefore, parents should pay close attention to their child's condition and seek timely treatment.
