How should epilepsy in babies be treated?

Patient's question:

When the child was three days old, she had a bath, and her eyes suddenly straightened. No one dared to say anything. Later, it became worse, and she had to have about six episodes a day. I've visited many places, but nothing has worked. I don't know if anyone can help me, or if there are any good solutions! Thank you for your concern!

Doctor's answer:

Epilepsy is a clinical syndrome characterized by recurrent and transient brain dysfunction caused by various factors, such as brain and systemic diseases. The main clinical manifestations include episodes of impaired consciousness, convulsions, sensory, motor, mental disorders, or autonomic nervous system dysfunction. It is emphasized that medication should be taken on schedule as prescribed by a doctor and should not be altered or stopped without authorization. Maintaining a good lifestyle is important, avoiding overexertion. Insufficient sleep, emotional excitement, and maintaining good habits are essential, as well as avoiding excessive eating and drinking. Hunger, dietary lightness, avoiding spicy foods, and quitting smoking are recommended. Keeping a positive mindset, cultivating personal hobbies, and engaging in appropriate activities and work are beneficial.
