Patient's question:
.5 years old My daughter is two and a half years old this year. Before the Spring Festival, she had a seizure due to a high fever of around 39 degrees Celsius. The doctor gave her a fever-reducing injection, and it was fine. However, on the ninth day of the first lunar month, the child had another seizure, three times in one day. We went to our county hospital for an IV drip, and she felt better. The next day, we went to the provincial children's hospital for a check-up. The electroencephalogram and brain CT were normal, but the doctor said there were symptoms of epilepsy and prescribed some antiepileptic medication. He said to follow up after a month. A few days before the seizure, the child didn't eat or drink much and didn't have a bowel movement. She also vomited twice (possibly due to dietary habits during the twelfth lunar month). She had a low fever of around 37 degrees Celsius, and even after taking fever-reducing medicine, it didn't go down significantly.Doctor's answer:
Currently, both domestically and internationally, the treatment of epilepsy primarily relies on medication. After receiving standardized anti-epileptic drug treatment, approximately 70% of epilepsy patients can have their seizures controlled. Among these, 50% to 60% of patients can achieve complete recovery after 2 to 5 years of treatment, allowing them to work and live just like normal people. Therefore, rational and standardized anti-epileptic drug treatment is key.
