Question

When a child has an epileptic seizure, small bumps may appear on their legs. At the most severe, they may have up to 6 seizures a day, feeling numb before the seizure starts, followed by convulsions and uncontrollable limbs. Each time they see a doctor, they are prescribed sedatives, and there is concern that long-term use may affect the child’s development.

Answer

Long-term use of sedatives may cause side effects and should not be used as a long-term treatment for epilepsy. Daily care is very important in the treatment of epilepsy, as proper care can help reduce the frequency of seizures and alleviate the patient’s pain. Patients should actively seek professional treatment to obtain effective treatment methods.
