Patient's question:
My daughter is 6 years old. Recently, she often stares blankly, with a fixed gaze for a few seconds. I suspect it might be childhood absence epilepsy, so we went to the hospital for an electroencephalogram (EEG) and a brain CT, but nothing significant was found.Doctor's answer:
Need to inquire about the medical history in detail and perform necessary examinations, such as electroencephalogram, cranial CT, magnetic resonance imaging, etc. Correct treatment can only be provided after a definitive diagnosis. Currently, the most commonly used drugs include carbamazepine, sodium valproate, and other traditional antiepileptic drugs.
