Question
My child experiences a headache one or two times a month, and it’s extremely painful. Even now, they still occasionally feel chest tightness, so as parents, we are very concerned. Does pediatric epilepsy have a specific treatment method?
Answer
The treatment for epilepsy varies depending on the cause. It generally involves taking oral antiepileptic medications, and some patients may opt for surgical treatment. It is recommended that you take your child to a regular hospital for a detailed head CT and electroencephalogram examination. Based on the detailed examination results, adopt targeted treatment. Pay attention to allowing your child to rest more often, maintaining emotional stability at all times, preventing overtime work and fatigue, ensuring sufficient deep sleep, eating a light diet, avoiding mutton, dog meat, coffee, strong tea, cola, and spicy and irritating foods. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, milk, eggs, lean meat, etc., to actively digest vitamins and proteins. Make regular visits to the hospital for follow-up examinations.
