Doctor's answer:
Children with epilepsy are advised to visit the hospital for an electroencephalogram soon. If this recurrent condition appears again, medication may be needed to control it, especially during episodes. It is best to have someone nearby for care during these times. For specific medications, it is necessary to consult a doctor and obtain a prescription.It is recommended that the family members of the patient do not lose confidence in treating epilepsy, as there are often many factors that can interfere with its effectiveness. If treatment is not successful or care is not properly managed, it may lead to recurrent episodes of epilepsy. However, epilepsy can be treated successfully.
