Question
A six-year-old child weighing 25 kilograms was diagnosed with syncope attacks at the end of March and started taking Depakene for treatment. On April 3rd, the child developed chickenpox, with a high fever for one day and a low fever for two days, but medication was not stopped. The chickenpox has healed, but the child still has frequent syncope attacks. What precautions should be taken during medication?
Answer
Treatment for syncope attacks is usually effective in the initial stages, but some types may require further determination and adjustment of the treatment plan. It is recommended to continue follow-up visits, where the doctor will adjust the plan based on treatment effectiveness and instruct when blood tests are needed. Side effects may occur, but they usually become tolerable as the medication is used over time. If they are not tolerable, the doctor will assist in adjusting the medication. Note that typical syncope attacks usually do not occur frequently due to shock or stimulation, but atypical syncope or those accompanied by myoclonic seizures may be related to shock or stimulation.
