Question
What should be paid attention to in the care of children with epilepsy?
Answer
Epilepsy is primarily a brain disorder caused by abnormal discharge of neurons. Currently, clinical diagnosis mainly adopts medication treatment, with commonly used drugs including carbamazepine, sodium valproate, and phenytoin. Patients should take anti-epileptic medication regularly under the guidance of a doctor, while also preventing various triggering factors such as fatigue, alcohol consumption, overeating, and infectious diseases. Families should care for and attend to the patient in their daily lives and help build the patient’s confidence in overcoming the disease.
