Patient's question:
Girl baby, 10 years old, a child of a friend of mine. She said her child jumps around wildly and even hits people, and she can't control it. The whole person falls to the ground. Please ask: What methods are used to treat pediatric epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
Currently, there is still no effective treatment for epilepsy at the level of modern medicine, primarily relying on medication control. Once diagnosed with epilepsy, it is necessary to strictly follow the doctor's instructions, take antiepileptic drugs long-term, on schedule, and in the prescribed dosage. It is not advisable to arbitrarily increase the dosage or stop taking the medication without consulting a doctor. Lastly, during the treatment period, patients need to maintain a balanced diet, adhere to a regular schedule, actively participate in physical exercise, regulate their physical and mental health, and keep themselves clean to avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
