Patient's question:
My child doesn't know how he/she got epilepsy, and it doesn't recur much. However, the child is usually low on energy and sometimes experiences trembling in the hands and feet. I want to understand what precautions need to be taken when epilepsy patients take medication.What kind of help is needed: What precautions should be taken when epilepsy patients take medication?
Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy is a disease that requires medication to control. When children take medication, parents need to remind them of the correct dosage and not to increase it privately, as this can easily interfere with the effectiveness of the medication. In addition to reminding parents to take their children for regular blood drug concentration and liver/kidney function tests, it is important to closely monitor any recurrence of abnormal symptoms to ensure timely medication adjustment or discontinuation. The above suggestions are in response to the question "What should parents pay attention to when children with epilepsy take medication?" and are hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
