How is pediatric psychomotor epilepsy treated?

Patient's question:

How is pediatric psychomotor epilepsy treated?

Doctor's answer:

1: Some parents, although they notice that their children have unexplained crying, poor feeding, excessive quietness, or body tremors when startled before six months of age, simply attribute these symptoms to the child being too young and weak, suspecting colds, poor digestion, or the possibility of catching other diseases.
2: When parents of premature infants observe that their children's motor development, such as rolling over, crawling, sitting, standing, and walking, lags behind that of other normal peers, they often simply assume it is due to prematurity and expect the child to gradually recover with natural growth and development. They often adopt a "wait and see" attitude.
3: When parents notice abnormal postures in their children during movement, they often believe it is a problem with their child's bones or muscles, delaying the opportunity for timely medical attention.
4: Once a doctor confirms that a child has epilepsy, parents often take the first step of blindly seeking medical help from various sources, hoping to alleviate the child's motor dysfunction through conventional methods like injections or medication.
