Patient's question:
How is adolescent epilepsy treated? My daughter is only fifteen years old and has epilepsy, why is that? How long does it take to treat it?Doctor's answer:
If epilepsy reappears during adolescence, it may be due to endocrine disorders or other reasons that cause brain damage, leading to this condition. It is recommended to undergo a head CT and EEG examination at the hospital to confirm the recurrence. If the symptoms are mild, no treatment may be necessary, or carbamazepine can be taken orally. Additionally, it is important to continue taking antiepileptic drugs to control the condition and strictly follow the doctor's instructions for medication.
