Question
I just buy some medication at the pharmacy, but I don’t deny that the child sometimes doesn’t take the medicine because my wife and I have to work. I would like to know if there are any side effects from taking this medicine, what precautions should be taken, and if there is a better treatment that can eradicate the condition (since the doctor said to take the medicine for three years before going for a follow-up). Thank you!
Answer
Epilepsy, although caused by abnormal discharge of neurons in the brain leading to chronic brain dysfunction, is not an incurable disease. Scientific and targeted treatment can help most patients achieve the goal of clinical cure, so patients cannot give up on the opportunity to treat epilepsy and should actively cooperate with their doctor’s treatment. There are many specialized medical institutions for treating epilepsy at present, but patients must go to regular specialized hospitals for treatment and should not blindly choose medical facilities. It is worth noting that medication for epilepsy can have certain side effects, so medication should be strictly followed according to the doctor’s instructions and attention should be paid to potential adverse reactions. Additionally, if you follow the doctor’s advice and continue taking the medicine for three years before a follow-up, it can better assess the effectiveness of treatment and adjust the next treatment plan.
