Patient's question:
Through many careful observations, I have noticed that certain parts of my child's body still experience twitching. Sometimes it's her head, and other times she says her armpits hurt. What is going on? Why does my child still have epilepsy symptoms even after taking medication?What kind of help I need: I'm very urgent. Why does my child still have epilepsy symptoms even after taking medication?
Doctor's answer:
This situation is present in some patients. When children have already started taking epilepsy medication, seizures can still occur again, and many parents believe that the medication is not working. In fact, epilepsy medication is typically taken in small doses and gradually increased until an appropriate and effective dose is achieved. Therefore, if seizures still occur in children who have already started medication, it is not necessarily drug resistance epilepsy. It is recommended to further implement standardized treatment by adjusting the medication, while also paying attention to diet and rest.
