Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know what's going on, my child keeps making loud screaming noises, and sometimes they also say their head hurts badly. The headaches have become more noticeable recently. Later, after a check-up, it was found that they had epilepsy. What should be paid attention to in the daily treatment of children with epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
Which treatment method is most suitable for the patient's condition must be determined after thoroughly assessing the patient's symptoms, electroencephalogram (EEG), and other auxiliary examinations, and further clarifying the type of epilepsy. Some cases can be controlled with medication and are not suitable for surgery, while others are highly suitable for surgery. Generally, the earlier surgery is performed in cases suitable for it, the smaller the impact on the patient's brain nerves. Medication can only control epilepsy seizures, and recurrence will occur once the medication is stopped or reduced. To completely eliminate epilepsy seizures, it is necessary to repair damaged neuronal cells and balance their abnormal discharges. Currently, clinical practice mainly employs the guided fusion intervention repair therapy. The specific optimal treatment plan needs to be determined based on the patient's underlying cause, seizure type, and the extent of brain neuronal damage.
