Patient's question:
Hello doctor, my child is 11 years old and has been taking epilepsy medication for three years. After stopping the medication for one year, it has relapsed four times in the following five months. What should we do in this situation?Doctor's answer:
After one year of epilepsy treatment, if the recurrence is mild with symptoms occurring only once every few months or even less frequently, it can be monitored without treatment, and any discomfort should be followed up. If the seizures are frequent or the symptoms are severe, it is necessary to restart regular anti-epileptic drug treatment under the guidance of a doctor and actively identify and remove various causes of the seizures.
