8-month-old child having seizures

Patient's question:

At 4 months, the first seizure occurred, and so far, it has happened 8 times. The longest seizure lasted for 5 hours. It was stabilized only after emergency treatment at the Zhejiang Provincial Children's Hospital. Later, it was diagnosed as epilepsy at Shanghai Fudan University Affiliated Children's Hospital (Dean Wang). Currently, 3 milliliters of Depakine are taken twice daily to control it. However, two more seizures occurred yesterday. The first lasted for 5 minutes, and the second occurred 20 minutes later. Emergency treatment at the hospital was required to control it (the seizure lasted nearly an hour).

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the main therapies for epilepsy currently include: brain hetero-electric holographic therapy, physical therapy, vagus nerve stimulation, psychological and cognitive function training, ketogenic diet therapy, Western medicine treatment, traditional Chinese medicine treatment, and surgical treatment, among others. It is necessary to comprehensively consider the patient's specific situation, seizure type, medical history, etc., to formulate an appropriate treatment plan.
