Question
Now, a year later, the child still complains of headaches and dizziness. This time, going to a top-level hospital in the province is a must to solve the problem. I’ve also discovered that this situation is caused by pediatric epilepsy. Which department is more appropriate for children with epilepsy? I’m looking for help on which department is more suitable for children with epilepsy.
Answer
It is recommended to visit the neurology department or a specialized epilepsy hospital in a third-grade hospital, and to consult the neurology department for a detailed examination. If the child is still young, an EEG may be sufficient. The symptoms of pediatric epilepsy include vomiting white foam, eyes rolling upwards, and fever. Moreover, when it comes to medication, it is crucial to determine the medication based on the individual characteristics of the epilepsy, decide on the appropriate medication and dosage form according to the specific characteristics of the illness, reduce the child’s dependence on medication, and prevent refusal to take medication. Epileptic children can try traditional Chinese medicine, as many traditional Chinese medicines have been proven to have significant antiepileptic effects, combining Western and Chinese medicine with the concept of dual efficacy in epilepsy.
