Patient's question:
My son is only 13 years old this year. When he was taking tutoring classes at school, he suddenly had a seizure. He has been taking medication for a long time, but it seems to be becoming less effective. I want to take him to the hospital again for a check-up, so I would like to understand first, where is the best place to treat epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
According to your son's symptoms, epilepsy is suspected. The medication is not effective, and epilepsy can recur at any time and place. During a recurrence, there is a loss of consciousness and convulsions, which can cause irreversible brain damage. It is recommended to undergo a thorough examination. The hospital has gathered experts specializing in treating epilepsy. Your child needs to undergo further tests to determine the cause of the epilepsy attacks and check for any congenital malformations or brain tumors in the cerebral blood vessels or other diseases. Avoid emotional excitement, staying up late, exposure to cold, overexertion, and enhance nutrition. Family members need to accompany him.
