Patient's question:
My husband does not have epilepsy, but their family has a history of this genetic condition. Poor my daughter, from the moment she was born, the doctor diagnosed her with epilepsy. This year, she is 5 years old. In these 5 years, she has had seizures almost every year. Each time, she would foam at the mouth and have continuous.What kind of help is needed: How should pediatric epilepsy be treated?
Doctor's answer:
Children are a group of individuals with a special age range, and their physical and brain development are in a rapid phase. Not only should epilepsy be treated, but special attention must also be paid to protecting the intellectual expansion of children. Medications with minimal side effects on the brain should be chosen, and medications with significant side effects, such as phenytoin, sodium valproate, and carbamazepine, should be avoided as much as possible. It is generally not advisable to use multiple different Western medications simultaneously; usually, only one should be used, and at most, no more than two.
