Question
If epilepsy is caused by viral encephalitis and valproate sodium reaches 61%, what should be done if the baby starts to convulse once the tiny tranquilizer is stopped?
Answer
Case Analysis: The baby initially suffered from viral encephalitis, which then led to the appearance of epilepsy symptoms. Currently, for the control of epilepsy, the main approach is to use antiepileptic drugs for treatment. Guidance: Therefore, if the baby is still in the hospital for treatment, it is necessary to continue with inpatient treatment. For viral encephalitis, the main treatment focuses on antiviral therapy and fluid replacement, as well as symptomatic treatments such as reducing intracranial pressure. For epilepsy, it is the medication you mentioned earlier for antiepileptic treatment. It is recommended that you continue to follow medical instructions for treatment.
