Question

My child is experiencing symptoms of eyes rolling upwards and loss of consciousness, which have been diagnosed by the hospital as epilepsy. What are the treatment methods for pediatric epilepsy?

Answer

Pediatric epilepsy is a serious disease that severely affects a child’s healthy growth. Once diagnosed, parents should immediately take their child to the doctor for treatment. Currently, the methods for treating epilepsy are relatively mature, with a variety of approaches available to help patients alleviate pain and promote recovery. Treatment usually begins with a single medication and follows the principle of long-term regular medication, with a gradual reduction in medication. The treatment plan should be selected based on the type of seizure and the comprehensive symptom type, and the standard for evaluating efficacy should be clinical observations and medication concentration measurements. Regular follow-up visits should be scheduled, and potential side effects of the medication should be monitored.
