Question
The child’s high fever seizure has turned into epilepsy, and they are currently taking Depakene. The condition has been controlled for 5 months, but it has started to occur again, once a month, sometimes several times a day.
Answer
Early and correct treatment for epilepsy can lead to complete or nearly complete symptom control for over 90% of patients. Most patients have the potential to stop having seizures. Common broad-spectrum antiepileptic drugs include valproic acid and clonazepam. New drugs like gabapentin and lamotrigine also have broader antiepileptic effects. When children take epilepsy medication, it should be long-term and regular; they should not stop taking the medication on their own and should consult with a doctor. These suggestions may help you; wishing you health!
