Patient's question:
My baby has epilepsy inherited from the previous generation, and it has been with him since birth. But the baby is so small, will taking epilepsy medication affect physical development? What kind of help is needed: Will medication for infants cause harm to the body?Doctor's answer:
Children with epilepsy should be treated with antiepileptic drugs in a timely manner. Although these drugs may cause potential side effects such as memory decline, increased intelligence, delayed reactions, and damage to liver and kidney function, it is important to remember that all medications have side effects. Treatment should not be avoided solely because of these side effects. It is recommended to seek medical advice from a pediatric department in a formal hospital. Wishing the child a healthy growth.
