Question

Children experience facial redness and fever after taking anti-epileptic medication topiramate. What are the treatment methods?

Answer

Epilepsy is classified into idiopathic epilepsy and symptomatic epilepsy based on the different causes of the disease. Clinical manifestations are characterized by recurrent episodes of brief loss of consciousness, limb convulsions, and seizures. The medication used for treatment varies depending on the severity of the seizures. Facial redness and fever that occur after taking topiramate may be side effects of the drug. It is recommended to consult a doctor to understand the specific cause and receive appropriate treatment advice. If the epilepsy is symptomatic, healing the underlying disease may help control the symptoms.
