Patient's question:
15 male had two years ago, foaming at the mouth, unable to recall the process, and has been using medication. However, the control has been unsatisfactory. Please ask: Which medications can effectively control the condition of pediatric epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
Hello, there are many medications for treating epilepsy. Most antiepileptic drugs have antiepileptic effects, but they only work by reducing the excitability of brain nerves to control recurrent seizures. They cannot repair damaged brain neurons. Moreover, long-term medication can lead to excessively high blood drug concentrations, not only failing to control seizures but also increasing the frequency of recurrence. Each seizure causes brain cell damage, and long-term medication can also lead to memory decline and liver cell damage. It is recommended to seek early treatment and avoid desperation, as this can worsen the condition and make future treatment more difficult. Currently, the most effective treatment methods for epilepsy include "Minimally Invasive Acupoint Blocking Therapy: leading technology, unique methods, stable efficacy; Vagus Nerve Stimulation Therapy: convenient operation, non-invasive, no side effects." The key to choosing a treatment is to receive care at a regular and authoritative hospital. We hope patients recover soon.
