Patient's question:
After examination, it has been found that the child has suffered from epilepsy since childhood. They have been undergoing treatment all along, so how could the child's condition improve so early.Doctor's answer:
Children with epilepsy have various types of seizures, and different medications should be selected based on the specific type of seizure. For example: Sodium Valproate Extended-release Tablets (Depakote ER), its pharmacological effects are effective for absence seizures, and it can also be used for myoclonic seizures, tonic-clonic seizures, atonic seizures, or mixed seizures; Topiramate (Topamax) is a new antiepileptic drug that can be used for both focal seizures and generalized seizures, and it also has a good therapeutic effect on some refractory Lennox-Gastaut syndrome or infantile spasms.
