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 for another 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 regular private hospital for follow-up. You can decide to visit a tertiary-level major hospital and register with the neurology department for follow-up, rather than choosing some so-called private epilepsy specialty hospitals for follow-up. 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 regular local hospital and register with the neurology department for follow-up. Necessary and thorough examinations should be conducted, such as an electroencephalogram (EEG), etc. Based on the examination results, you can determine whether it is necessary to switch to a new antiepileptic drug for treatment.
