Patient's question:
The baby previously had epilepsy due to high fever. After taking the medication prescribed by the doctor, occasional sudden twitching of the hands and feet still occurs. Is this normal? What kind of help is needed: Is it normal to have twitches after taking antiepileptic drugs?Doctor's answer:
The main treatment for epilepsy is oral medication. After taking medication, it is absolutely not possible to completely suppress symptoms in the short term. It takes a period of regular and effective medication to achieve suppression. The duration of complete suppression varies depending on the cause and type of recurrence. Epilepsy is a curable disease, but it requires regular medication and the selection of appropriate drugs based on the type of recurrence. Preventing triggers, maintaining a regular routine, stabilizing unhealthy habits, and ensuring proper digestion, nutrition, and vitamins are important.
