Question
What to do when pediatric epilepsy medication is ineffective?
Answer
Epilepsy is a chronic condition caused by specific seizures in the brain’s neurons. If not well controlled, it can last for years, even decades. For this reason, many epilepsy patients hold a pessimistic attitude towards whether the disease can be cured. It must be pointed out that most epilepsy patients have a good prognosis, although there are also a few cases that are difficult to control and have an unsatisfactory outcome. Epilepsy patients should maintain an optimistic attitude, build confidence in overcoming the disease, and must persist in long-term treatment, delaying medication for a longer period of time. Pay attention to diet, avoid eating spicy foods, quit alcohol, coffee, and strong tea, and avoid emotional excitement and excessive tension. Pay attention to personal safety.
