Question
The child developed epilepsy as a Sequelae at 4 months old due to a fever. At 9 months, an MRI revealed brain atrophy. Currently, medication is being taken to control the condition.
Answer
Epilepsy is a clinical syndrome characterized by transient brain dysfunction caused by abnormal discharge of brain neurons, with the cause unknown but associated with genetic factors. The main symptoms include seizures, loss of consciousness, muscle spasms, rigidity, and hallucinations. Electroencephalography and MRI imaging are helpful in diagnosis. The goal of treatment is to control symptoms, with commonly used medications including carbamazepine tablets, phenytoin tablets, and Chinese herbal anti-epilepsy pills for opsonize. We know that in pediatric neurorehabilitation, if treatment is not timely or the method is inappropriate, the condition can progress rapidly, posing great harm to the child. Therefore, it is crucial to seek timely treatment at professional hospitals for standardized treatment.
