What kind of help is needed: What are the key points to pay attention to in caring for a child with epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy is primarily caused by abnormal discharges of brain neurons, leading to dysfunction of the brain's nervous system. Currently, the main clinical diagnosis method is medication treatment. Commonly used drugs include carbamazepine, sodium valproate, sodium phenytoin, etc. Patients should take antiepileptic drugs under the guidance of a doctor for a long-term and regular schedule. At the same time, they should avoid various triggering factors, such as fatigue, alcohol consumption, overeating, and infectious diseases. Family members should provide care and support in daily life while helping the patient build confidence in overcoming the disease.
