Question
Why do children still have seizure symptoms after taking medicine?
Answer
After observing several times, I noticed that there are involuntary twitches in certain parts of the child’s body, sometimes the head, and sometimes they complain of pain under the armpits. What is going on here? This situation exists in some patients. When children start taking epilepsy medication, seizures may still occur. Many parents may think that the medication is ineffective. In fact, epilepsy medication is usually started at a low dose and gradually increased to an effective dose. Therefore, seizures may still occur in children when they first start taking medication, which does not mean they have developed tolerance to the medication. It is recommended to further adjust the medication for standardized treatment, while also paying attention to diet and rest.
