Patient's question:
The child's 100-day-old photo showed that their head wasn't straight. They visited the children's hospital in Wuxi and were told there was nothing seriously wrong, that it would just get better. In 2010, they also went to Shanghai Jiao Tong University Affiliated Xinhua Hospital, Shanghai Fudan University Affiliated Ear, Nose, and Throat Hospital, and Shanghai Jiao Tong University Affiliated Shanghai Children's Medical Center, among others.Doctor's answer:
Medication is primarily used to control seizures. Commonly used drugs include phenytoin, carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine, lamotrigine, sodium valproate, levetiracetam, etc. They should be selected reasonably based on clinical symptoms.For simple absence seizures, as they are short in duration, sudden in onset, and abrupt in termination, they can resolve spontaneously without medication. If they occur occasionally, observation may continue. For frequent episodes or complex absence seizures, appropriate antiepileptic drugs or traditional Chinese medicine treatment should be chosen.
