Question
My son has epilepsy caused by birth injuries, and the treatment has not been effective. What are the treatment methods for pediatric epilepsy?
Answer
The treatment for pediatric epilepsy needs to be determined based on the specific cause. If the cause is not clear, medication is usually used to control the disease and reduce the frequency of recurrence. If the cause is known, such as due to brain nerve or vascular malformations, surgical treatment can be considered. The sooner the surgery is performed, the better the prognosis. Patients need to maintain regular routines, persist with treatment, and adhere to a light diet and engage in aerobic exercise to improve immunity and reduce the risk of illness.
