Question

Our child has been diagnosed with epilepsy after suffering from a fever in infancy. We would like to inquire about how to care for epilepsy patients in daily life.

Answer

Since epilepsy has been diagnosed, it is important to seek professional treatment promptly. Firstly, you should visit the neurology department of a top-grade A-level hospital and consult with a pediatric epilepsy specialist to develop an individualized treatment plan for your child. During the initial stages of treatment, avoid using medication arbitrarily at grassroots hospitals. Additionally, epilepsy seizures can pose unexpected risks to children, so in daily life, it is advisable to avoid activities such as riding bicycles, rock climbing, getting close to electrical or fire sources, engaging in high-altitude activities, or crossing traffic alone to prevent potential dangers during seizures.
