Question
How is pediatric epilepsy treated? The parents do not have a family history. The mother had a car accident during pregnancy, which hit her head, and she took antibiotics. After the child was born, they seemed to have a bit of tremor, but it was not taken seriously and no seizures occurred. However, when the child was one year old and learning to walk, they fell and had a seizure, which is when it was discovered.
Answer
Epilepsy is currently a relatively common neurological disorder and one that is quite challenging to treat. There are many causes of pediatric epilepsy, and currently, a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine is often used for treatment to greatly reduce the significant side effects that can come from using Western medicine alone. Simply taking medication is not enough; only timely treatment at a regular hospital can lead to a cure.
