Question
What is the current situation with the medication being used for the child’s secondary epilepsy following encephalitis, and is it necessary to increase the dosage?
Answer
The dose of the drug Debacine needs to be increased. Currently, the main treatment for epilepsy, both domestically and internationally, is medication-based. Approximately 70% of patients with epilepsy can have their seizures controlled through proper anti-epileptic drug treatment. Among them, 50% to 60% of patients can be cured after 2 to 5 years of treatment, allowing them to live and work normally like others. Therefore, rational and regular anti-epileptic drug treatment is crucial.
