Patient's question:
My child was carefully examined at birth and was found to have inherited epilepsy from his grandparents on his father's side. When the child was younger, I didn't take him to the hospital for comprehensive treatment, but now that he's older, I'm wondering if the cost of treating pediatric epilepsy is expensive.Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy is a chronic disease with a long course of treatment. The cost of treatment should be chosen based on the severity of the patient's condition and cannot be generalized. A correct understanding of the disease and active cooperation with the doctor's treatment are important. Currently, in clinical diagnosis, the treatment for epilepsy patients primarily focuses on medication-based treatment. Commonly used drugs include phenytoin, diazepam, carbamazepine, clonazepam, etc.
