Question
How should epilepsy be treated? For children with this condition that has persisted for some time, parents are concerned about medication and seek medical advice.
Answer
Infantile epilepsy is a difficult-to-treat epilepsy caused by chromosomal abnormalities. Its clinical manifestations are diverse, primarily characterized by convulsive symptoms such as arching convulsions, nodding convulsions, cervical nodding convulsions, and lightning-like convulsions. Symptoms may also manifest as asymmetrical convulsions, such as turning the head to one side or twitching a single leg. It is recommended that parents take their child to the hospital for a comprehensive examination to develop an appropriate treatment plan based on the results.
