Patient's question:
The child has been taking medication for epilepsy for two years and has not had a recurrence during this period. Hello, can the medication be stopped in this situation?Doctor's answer:
To prevent the recurrence of the condition, it is still recommended to take oral antiepileptic drugs. During this period, there needs to be good mutual cooperation from the patient, coordinating aspects such as daily life, diet, living habits, and environment. Moreover, the likelihood of epilepsy attacks caused by stopping medication is very high. If you feel that the child will definitely not have a recurrence, you can go to a formal Grade III-A hospital's neurology department for a detailed and thorough examination, and consult with the neurology doctor on how to discontinue the medication.
