Patient's question:
2012 December first onset, to date 12 episodes, including two major attacks (duration of about 5-8 minutes), other episodes lasted about one minute each, recent episodes occurred in February 2015Doctor's answer:
Hello, the symptoms of the child are relatively typical of epilepsy. The first-line treatment for epilepsy is medication. If there is no clear cause, surgical treatment is not recommended. You can take phenobarbital or sodium valproate regularly. Only when there are no signs of epilepsy during a continuous year of medication can the dosage be gradually reduced. After 1-2 years of gradual medication reduction and observation, and still no epilepsy attacks, medication can be stopped.
