Patient's question:
My daughter is only one year and two months old and has just started walking. Yesterday, she was playing well, but suddenly fainted with her eyes rolling back and foaming at the mouth. Her hands and feet were twitching continuously, which terrified me. Later, we quickly took her to the hospital for a thorough examination, and it was diagnosed that she suffers from pediatric epilepsy. So, what is the treatment for epilepsy and the associated costs?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description, this situation is not a one-time cost, and it's difficult to say how much it will be. Additionally, the fees vary depending on the hospital level. Currently, it is necessary to have a thorough examination, such as an electroencephalogram (EEG) and a brain CT scan. After diagnosis, the patient may need to take medication long-term to control the condition, undergo regular follow-up tests, and adjust the medication as needed. It is essential to prevent the child from getting feverish, catching colds, or experiencing emotional excitement, which are many factors that can lead to recurrence.
