Patient's question:
The surgery was performed in April 2009. The child is now 7 years old. In January 2013, symptoms of dizziness and vomiting began to appear, and he was diagnosed with epilepsy. He has been taking oxcarbazepine ever since. In January 2014, the symptoms reappeared, with abdominal distension and a longer duration, becoming more severe. The parents are heartbroken and anxious, hoping for your help!Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Observe if there are any triggers before the epilepsy attack, such as sudden discontinuation or reduction of medication, lack of sleep due to staying up late, stress or emotional stimulation, or the use of other drugs that may trigger epilepsy, such as oxiracetam or penicillin.Recommendations: If the doctor finds no triggers, consider it to be drug tolerance. In such cases, switching to another medication for treatment is necessary. Options include sodium valproate oral solution or levetiracetam.
