During the treatment of pediatric epilepsy, family members should supervise and ensure that the child takes the medication on time and in the correct dosage without any errors to prevent underdosing, missed doses, or overdosing. Family members must absolutely not change the new medication or dosage, whether by increasing, decreasing, or switching to a different type. Never stop the treatment abruptly or for a short period.If an episode of epilepsy is detected, immediately approach the child to support them and try to guide them to the ground gently to avoid injuries from falling. At the same time, quickly roll up a handkerchief or gauze and place it between the child’s upper and lower teeth before their lips close tightly to prevent biting the tongue during a seizure.
In daily care, attention should be paid to maintaining a quiet and safe environment, avoiding bright light exposure, and preventing triggers. A light and easily digestible diet is recommended, with minimal spicy foods and avoiding extreme hunger or overeating.
