Methods for treating secondary pediatric epilepsy

Patient's question:

The child has been sick for several years. Is there any method to treat secondary childhood epilepsy?

Doctor's answer:

First, the child's epilepsy is different from that of adults, with greater uncertainty and a higher likelihood of variability. If the child has seizures every half month and the episodes are not too severe, with no significant adverse reactions to the medication, the current treatment plan can be continued, but with cautious monitoring.
Second, has the child undergone a rigorous evaluation for seizure focus? What type of epilepsy does the child have? If antiepileptic drugs cannot control the seizures, surgical treatment may be considered if necessary.
