Question

A 10-year-old girl, a friend’s child, is jumping around and hitting people, unable to control herself, and falls to the ground. What treatment methods should be used for pediatric epilepsy?

Answer

Epilepsy currently has no cure at the medical level, and treatment mainly involves medication control. Once diagnosed with epilepsy, it is necessary to strictly follow the doctor’s instructions, take antiepileptic drugs regularly and in the prescribed dosage, and not increase the dosage arbitrarily or stop the medication randomly. During treatment, patients should maintain a healthy diet, have a regular lifestyle, actively participate in physical exercise, maintain physical and mental health, and keep personal hygiene to avoid bacterial invasion due to decreased resistance.
