Patient's question:
Our child had a sudden episode of foaming at the mouth and convulsions when they were in kindergarten. A thorough medical examination at the hospital previously revealed that it was epilepsy. Yesterday, while in class, the teacher suddenly called to say the child's condition had recurred. How can the incidence of epilepsy be controlled?Doctor's answer:
Your child has frequent relapses of epilepsy at kindergarten due to the condition. In this case, it is recommended that you take your child to a secondary hospital to see a neurology doctor for a follow-up examination. A detailed check-up and diagnosis should be conducted to determine the type of epilepsy your child has. Then, symptomatic drug treatment should be administered. Generally, as long as you follow the doctor's advice and take the medication on time, the frequency of epilepsy relapses can be controlled.
