How should children with epilepsy be properly handled?

Patient's question:

The child recently experienced symptoms of convulsions in their hands and feet again, and there was also some foaming at the mouth. After taking the child to the hospital for a thorough examination, it was diagnosed as epilepsy. It's truly hard to understand, and I really feel like the world is crumbling down. I'd like to consult on what to do when a child is diagnosed with epilepsy.

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, epilepsy is mainly caused by abnormal pulses in the brain. Treatment primarily involves using antiepileptic drugs to control seizures. It is important to take precautions to prevent colds, exposure to cold, and stimuli that may trigger seizures. Epilepsy has a certain hereditary tendency, so it is necessary to undergo regular follow-up examinations and adjust medication in a timely manner to prevent self-withdrawal or overdose. You should take your child to a formal hospital for treatment and try to minimize their exposure to triggers that may cause epilepsy.
