Patient's question:
The child is 5 years and 7 months old. It has been diagnosed with epilepsy, focal type. Currently, sodium valproate has been prescribed for oral administration. I would like to know if there are better options available.Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, there are some symptoms of epilepsy upon careful examination. Currently, the primary approach is to suppress the symptoms with medication and then closely monitor the baby's condition. If the medication is not effective in suppressing the symptoms, local ablation surgery can be considered for treatment. Patients facing epilepsy should actively undergo thorough examinations and treatments without avoiding medical consultation. If epilepsy is not effectively treated, it is important to promptly switch to an alternative treatment plan.
