Patient's question:
New advancements in refractory epilepsy in 2018? When my son was 5 years old, he was diagnosed with epilepsy. He was taken to the hospital for treatment, but it recurred many times after. Seeing his condition, my heart aches deeply. Recently, it has recurred again, but the situation is not as severe as before. I want to know the treatment methods for small recurrences of epilepsy in children.Doctor's answer:
The factors that can trigger epilepsy are numerous. The most common one is severe head injury, which is highly likely to cause epilepsy. Another is a cold with low fever; prolonged illness may also lead to epilepsy. Additionally, irregular eating habits, such as skipping meals or eating too much or too little, can also trigger epilepsy. Furthermore, if the body lacks meat or has an unbalanced diet, nutritional deficiencies can also lead to epilepsy. At the same time, long-term poor sleep habits can similarly cause epilepsy.
