Patient's question:
The child was diagnosed with epilepsy six months ago and has been taking medication for half a year. The condition is well-controlled, with no seizures occurring so far. The white blood cell count in monthly blood tests has been around 3.6. How long should the medication be continued? Can one of the medications be reduced now? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
The treatment of epilepsy is urgent. To treat the condition and reduce the occurrence of such diseases, it is essential to have a comprehensive understanding of the causative factors of epilepsy. Timely prevention and treatment measures should be taken in daily life. Most epilepsy patients are treated with medication. During medication treatment, patients must receive long-term standardized medication use to ensure the condition is controlled. The treatment of epilepsy requires a long period of time. Patients should not be impatient and should not lose confidence, as this is not conducive to controlling the condition. After epilepsy is controlled with medication, the dosage of the medication should be gradually reduced. However, the reduction of medication should be done under the guidance of a doctor to avoid epilepsy attacks.
