Question
What are the precautions for pediatric epilepsy patients when playing water?
Answer
Currently, the main treatment for epilepsy in both domestic and international settings is medication. Approximately 70% of epilepsy patients can have their seizures controlled through regular antiepileptic drug treatment. Among them, 50% to 60% of patients can be cured after 2 to 5 years of treatment, allowing them to work and live like normal people. Therefore, rational and regular antiepileptic drug treatment is crucial. Antiepileptic drug treatment should, as far as possible, adopt monotherapy until effective or the maximum tolerated dose is reached. If monotherapy fails, combination therapy can be used. It is preferable to use drugs with different mechanisms of action and minimal or no drug interactions. Rational drug combination should aim for the best clinical effect and the lightest economic burden on the patient.
