Patient's question:
Viral encephalitis causes epilepsy, sodium valproate reaches 61%. If not using minimal sedation, will there be convulsions once it's stopped?Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: The baby primarily suffered from viral encephalitis first, which then led to the development of epilepsy symptoms. Currently, for the control of epilepsy, the main treatment involves the use of antiepileptic drugs.Advice: Therefore, if the baby is still hospitalized for treatment, it will be necessary to continue the inpatient treatment. For viral encephalitis, the main treatment focuses on antiviral therapy, fluid replacement, and intracranial pressure reduction, among other symptomatic treatments. For epilepsy, the treatment mentioned earlier—antiepileptic medication—will be continued. It is recommended that you follow the doctor's advice and continue the treatment accordingly.
