What should be done for a 1-year-old and 3-month-old child with epilepsy?

Patient's question:

The daughter of my colleague is only one year and three months old and has epilepsy. Usually, the child seems fine, eats well, and grows taller, but sometimes she drools. It's especially frightening when she has a seizure. What should we do about epilepsy in a one-year-old and three-month-old child?

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you described, in cases like this, it is best to seek treatment at a Level 3 Grade A hospital in your local area. First, an electroencephalogram should be performed to confirm the diagnosis. If the diagnosis is epilepsy, medication should be used. Standardized medication can help alleviate the symptoms of epilepsy and achieve control. It is important for the child to maintain a positive mood at all times. Get plenty of rest. Regulate physical and mental health, and maintain personal hygiene to avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
