Patient's question:
I have two children, the older is 10 years old, and the younger is 5 years old. They have been diagnosed with familial epilepsy. The frequency and severity of their seizures have been increasing. Is there any treatment available?Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy patients should be detected early and treated as soon as possible. In most cases, treatment is carried out through oral antiepileptic drugs. It is recommended that you take your child to a regular hospital for a thorough examination of the head CT and EEG. According to the examination results, follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic medication. Patients should also develop good living habits, maintain a proper diet, enhance nutrition, and eat more vegetables, fruits, milk, eggs, lean meat, etc. Actively absorb vitamins and proteins, avoid overexertion and emotional shocks, and ensure sufficient sleep time.
