Patient's question:
Currently taking topiramate.Now it's hot, but the child doesn't sweat. The child is now 7 years old.
This medication has been taken for 8 months.
Now, whenever the child moves, they get a red face and a fever of 37.6°C.
What should be done?
Doctor's answer:
Medications have side effects. Western medicine categorizes epilepsy into two major types based on different causes: idiopathic epilepsy and secondary (symptomatic) epilepsy. The clinical manifestations are characterized by recurrent brief loss of consciousness, limb spasms, and convulsions. The treatment medications vary depending on the severity of the seizures. Therefore, it depends on the underlying cause. If the epilepsy is secondary, it can be cured after the primary disease is treated.
