Patient's question:
Last year, my nephew had a seizure, so he went to the hospital for an electroencephalogram. It was diagnosed as epilepsy, and he was prescribed some medication for treatment. He has been taking the medication consistently without interruption. However, recently, the child has had several episodes of seizures, including spitting up.Doctor's answer:
Hello, your child's epilepsy is not under control. It is a chronic disease that requires long-term treatment, usually 2-4 years. Moreover, it does not mean there will be no more seizures after starting treatment. Regular follow-up visits are needed during the treatment process, and medication should be adjusted based on weight, seizure conditions, etc. Please go to the hospital for follow-up.
