Patient's question:
The grandson of the neighbor discovered epilepsy in his teens. Due to not-so-good family conditions, he never went to the hospital for a thorough examination and only managed with a bit of medication. After more than a year of taking the medication, there was no effect. What should be done if epilepsy medication doesn't work?Doctor's answer:
The child of the neighbor had a recurrence of epilepsy symptoms in their teens. Due to poor family conditions, they did not undergo a thorough medical examination at the hospital, but instead relied on many medications for treatment. In this case, medication may not be very effective. It is recommended to visit a neurology outpatient department for a detailed examination, including a brain MRI and an electroencephalogram, to help with diagnosis and then adjust the medication accordingly.
