Patient's question:
Boy, 11 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 him. He lies on the ground entirely. Please ask: Can pediatric epilepsy be treated well if it is discovered early?Doctor's answer:
Currently, there is still no effective treatment for epilepsy at the level of modern medicine, and the main approach is drug control therapy. For refractory epilepsy, surgical treatment can be considered. Once diagnosed with epilepsy, it is necessary to strictly follow the doctor's instructions, take antiepileptic drugs regularly and in the prescribed dosage for a long period of time. It is not advisable to arbitrarily increase the dosage or stop taking the medication. In addition to treatment, patients need to maintain a regular schedule, take precautions against cold and keep warm, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water. A healthy lifestyle is also helpful in preventing the occurrence of the disease.
