Question
My child, who is now eight years old, has epilepsy and has been taking Oxcarbazepine and Keppra, but the condition is still not controlled. What should I do?
Answer
Epilepsy is one of the common diseases in neurology. As long as treatment is received in a regular and professional hospital with skilled techniques, clear diagnosis, and appropriate treatment methods, about 80% of patients can achieve complete control and healing. It is recommended to seek treatment from reliable medical institutions such as municipal, provincial direct hospitals, affiliated hospitals of medical colleges, or regular military hospitals. For pediatric epilepsy, timely and correct treatment is very important because if it is not treated or the treatment method is incorrect, epilepsy may progress rapidly, posing great harm to the child. Parents should closely monitor their child’s condition and take them for treatment promptly.
