Patient's question:
My child is 10 years old and has benign epilepsy. They have been taking medication for a year. Are there any treatment methods? Besides that, when they get nervous, they get dizzy, their mouth and tongue go numb! She is a girl.Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to assist you. After reading your description, epilepsy is generally benign, a chronic brain function disorder. Various stimuli can cause patients to experience loss of consciousness, limb convulsions, and foaming at the mouth. If carbamazepine is effective, do not change or adjust the medication arbitrarily. If it's not effective, you can visit a hospital for a recent electroencephalogram (EEG) test. Go to a reputable top-tier Grade III hospital's neurology department, and let the doctor develop a new treatment plan based on the detailed examination results. Surgical treatment is also an option. In daily life, avoid overworking and exposure to any external stimuli, including loud noises and bright lights. Do not engage in strenuous exercise. Alright.
