Patient's question:
My child doesn't know how he/she got epilepsy, but this disease doesn't usually recur during the day. However, it tends to come back when he/she takes a nap at night. When it does recur, there are slight tremors in his/her hands and feet. I want to understand if there are any specific requirements for medication for pediatric epilepsy.What kind of help is needed: Are there specific requirements for medication for pediatric epilepsy?
Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy is caused by abnormal discharges of brain neurons and may be due to reasons such as heredity across generations, trauma, or encephalitis. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a doctor to diagnose based on symptoms. You can have a brain MRI and dynamic EEG test. Epilepsy requires systematic treatment with antiepileptic drugs, and liver function and blood drug concentration should be rechecked regularly. This is the advice for the question "Are there specific requirements for children's epilepsy medication?" and I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
