What are the treatment methods suitable for children with epilepsy?

Patient's question:

The child hasn't recovered from the cold since catching it last time. Recently, the child has had low-grade fever, experienced episodes of rolling back the eyes, and suddenly bitten their fingers. Upon careful examination, it was confirmed that the child has epilepsy. What treatment methods are specialized in treating pediatric epilepsy? The kind of help needed: Treatment methods specialized in pediatric epilepsy

Doctor's answer:

For pediatric epilepsy, you can first check an electroencephalogram. If the focus can be clearly located, surgery can also be considered as a treatment method. If it cannot be clearly located, you can only rely on many antiepileptic drugs. Children's weight and height grow relatively quickly, so regular follow-up tests are needed. The dosage needs to be adjusted according to individual weight conditions. Once the dose that suppresses your epilepsy is found, it is generally necessary to continue taking the medication for 3 to 5 years.
