Patient's question:
What are the precautions for children with epilepsy to play in water?Doctor's answer:
Currently, both domestically and internationally, the treatment of epilepsy primarily relies on medication. After receiving standardized antiepileptic drug treatment, approximately 70% of epilepsy patients can have their seizures controlled. Among them, 50% to 60% of patients can achieve remission after 2 to 5 years of treatment, allowing them to work and live like normal people. Therefore, rational and standardized antiepileptic drug treatment is key.Antiepileptic drug treatment should, as far as possible, use monotherapy until it is effective or reaches the maximum tolerated dose. If monotherapy fails, combination therapy can be used. It is preferable to combine drugs with different mechanisms of action and minimal or no drug interactions. The goal of rational drug combination should be to achieve the best clinical efficacy while minimizing the financial burden on patients.
