Patient's question:
The child is 7 years old and has had epilepsy for 3 years. They have been taking Depakine AstraZeneca to control it, which has been working well. This year, due to the child being past the age limit, they switched to tablet-form and added some other medications, but the condition has not improved at all. Symptoms such as leg stiffness, clumsy right hand, and difficulty speaking have repeatedly appeared. Is this caused by the change in medication?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the main therapies for epilepsy currently include: brain heteroelectric holographic therapy, physical therapy, vagus nerve stimulation, psychological and cognitive function training, ketogenic diet therapy, Western medicine treatment, traditional Chinese medicine treatment, and surgical treatment, among others. It is necessary to comprehensively consider the patient's specific situation, seizure type, medical history, etc., to formulate an appropriate treatment plan.
