Question
A 11-year-old male child, a friend’s child. She says her child is jumping around wildly and hitting people, unable to control themselves, and falls to the ground. How effective is early treatment for pediatric epilepsy?
Answer
Epilepsy currently cannot be completely cured with medical treatments, and is mainly controlled through medication. For intractable epilepsy cases, surgery may be an option. Once diagnosed with epilepsy, patients need to strictly follow medical instructions, taking antiepileptic drugs regularly and on time for a long period, and should not arbitrarily adjust dosages or stop taking medication. In addition to treatment, good daily habits such as regular work and rest , keeping warm, eating a light diet, ventilation, and drinking plenty of water can also help prevent the occurrence of the disease.
