Patient's question:
My son was hospitalized once as a child due to a fever that triggered epilepsy. This year, it has occurred twice again. I wonder if this is a sign that the condition is milder now? What should be paid more attention to when prescribing medication for pediatric epilepsy? I'm worried that it will get worse in the future. I hope the doctor can give some advice. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Children experience epilepsy again, the commonly used drugs mainly involve the use of sodium valproate, carbamazepine, etc., for symptomatic treatment. If the condition does not frequently recur or is not severe, it is recommended to use a single drug alone, or some acupuncture methods can be combined for treatment. The most important thing is to prevent factors that may trigger epilepsy attacks.
