Patient's question:
My niece is 5 months old. She has had 5 episodes of convulsions in a week without any obvious cause, and she feels lethargic after each episode. How should she be treated?Doctor's answer:
According to your situation description and questions, the current treatment for epilepsy domestically and internationally is primarily drug therapy, which is the first-line treatment for epilepsy. 70% of epilepsy patients can be controlled through conventional antiepileptic drugs. Among them, 50% to 60% can be cured after 2 to 5 years of treatment. They can work and live like normal people. Therefore, reasonable and standardized antiepileptic drugs are key. Surgical treatment is only applicable to patients who do not respond to drug therapy.
