Patient's question:
My son is only 13 years old this year. When he was taking tutoring 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:
Second, regarding the decision on the hospital for follow-up treatment of epilepsy, it is first recommended that you must choose a formal private hospital for follow-up. You can decide to visit a neurology department in a top-tier hospital for follow-up, rather than choosing some so-called private epilepsy specialty hospitals. Otherwise.Third, since the patient is currently experiencing frequent epilepsy seizures, it proves that the current medication control is not effective. In this case, you can visit a formal hospital in your local area and consult the neurology department for follow-up. Necessary and thorough examinations should be conducted, such as electroencephalography, etc. Based on the examination results, you can determine whether it is necessary to switch to a new antiepileptic medication for treatment.
