Patient's question:
Boy, 8 years old, a child of a friend of mine. She said her child jumps around uncontrollably and even hits people. He falls to the ground completely. I ask: How is pediatric epilepsy treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy is treatable and curable. Many epilepsy patients hold a pessimistic attitude about whether the disease can be cured. In fact, the prognosis is generally good for the majority of epilepsy cases. Of course, there are also a small number of cases that are difficult to control, with a less favorable prognosis. This condition requires long-term treatment, and medication should be tapered off gradually after a period of symptom relief (at least 2 years). Currently, effective treatments include Keppra (levetiracetam) tablets and Oxcarbazepine tablets, among others.In addition to treatment, patients need to maintain a regular daily routine, protect themselves from the cold, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of warm water. A healthy lifestyle also helps in preventing the occurrence of the disease.
