Question
The child has an attack once every 10 months and now once every 12 months. They are currently being treated at a local hospital and taking medication. Assistance sought: How to treat and cure the condition?
Answer
Seizure attacks caused by temporary brain dysfunction are related to factors such as genetics and trauma. The main treatment is medication, such as oral phenobarbital and phenytoin sodium, to avoid triggering accidents during an attack. The treatment of epilepsy should be tailored to the patient’s actual condition. Treatment methods vary from person to person. It is recommended to seek professional diagnosis at a regular hospital for effective treatment. The treatment of epilepsy can be divided into five aspects: controlling seizures, treating the cause, surgical treatment, general health care, and prevention. The most important aspect is controlling seizures. Currently, medication is the main treatment method. Clinically, antiepileptic drugs can be selected based on the type of epilepsy seizure. Once a drug and dosage that can completely control seizures are found, they should be continuously applied. Generally, after complete control of seizures, without any adverse reactions, medication should be continued for 3 to 5 years before considering discontinuation.
