Patient's question:
Frequently experiencing episodes of twitching and fainting, and also easily getting angry, the condition has worsened even with medication taken on time. Will there be any interference for children taking epilepsy medication? What kind of help is needed: Will there be any interference for children taking epilepsy medication?Doctor's answer:
Pay attention to preventing epilepsy triggers and monitoring the blood drug concentration of antiepileptic drugs. Family members should record the child's condition during seizures, medication use, and triggers on a daily basis and provide this information to the doctor during follow-up visits, along with blood drug concentration data, to help the doctor adjust the dosage. The key is to adhere to regular medication. Do not arbitrarily increase or stop antiepileptic drugs. If one medication does not achieve the desired effect after proper use, it can be increased or replaced with a new one. Some antiepileptic drugs may affect cognitive function and other aspects, and the choice of a side-effect-minimizing drug should be determined based on specific circumstances.
