What are the precautions for treating epilepsy?

Patient's question:

Hello everyone, I am a doctor. My daughter is now over two years old. When she was over one year old, she was diagnosed with epilepsy. Now I have been taking her to various places across the country for treatment. So, I would like to ask the doctors. What are the precautions for treating epilepsy?

Doctor's answer:

Currently, the treatment for epilepsy primarily involves the use of antiepileptic drugs for symptomatic treatment. It is necessary to consider revisiting the neurology department of a large hospital for follow-up. After improving relevant examinations, targeted symptomatic treatment should be provided based on each individual's specific circumstances. Antiepileptic drugs should be started with a low dose orally and gradually increased to a normal dose. Even after symptom control, a low dose should be maintained.
