Patient's question:
My nephew has been experiencing frequent twitching in his hands and feet recently, sometimes even foaming at the mouth. The family can't remember how many times this has happened. After checking at the hospital, it was diagnosed as a seizure of infantile epilepsy. However, after several days of treatment, the symptoms haven't improved much. Is there any effective treatment method? What should be done if the seizures occur frequently?What kind of help is needed: How to control frequent seizures in infantile epilepsy?
Doctor's answer:
First, a few questions:1. Is the amount of food you gave her sufficient? How much did you give?
2. When did the recurrence start?
3. Did you take any other medications before starting oxcarbazepine?
4. When you mentioned that the frequency of recurrence increased while taking oxcarbazepine, was this compared to the period when you were taking other medications (what medications, what dosage)? Or was it compared to the period when you were not taking any medication?
5. Do you have a history of difficult labor, encephalitis, or other conditions?
6. How consistent were the symptoms of recurrence before and after taking the medication? The diagnosis and medical history of epilepsy are very important for diagnosis, and the diagnosis itself is also very important for the disease.
We hope you can visit a regular hospital for follow-up as soon as possible!
