Question
The child developed epilepsy after encephalitis and is being treated with oxcarbazepine and valproate, but the frequency of seizures is still high. Should the dosage be increased?
Answer
The current treatment of epilepsy primarily involves medication, with about 70% of patients able to control seizures through medication, and 50% to 60% of patients can achieve remission after 2 to 5 years of treatment. Therefore, correct and standardized medication treatment is very important. In the case of this child, the dosage of valproate may need to be further adjusted, and it is recommended to consult a doctor for professional assessment and adjustment of medication.
