Question

Our child has been diagnosed with epilepsy caused by intergenerational inheritance, and the frequency and severity of seizures are increasing. What treatment methods are available?

Answer

Once diagnosed with epilepsy, patients should start treatment as soon as possible. Oral anti-epileptic medications are typically used for treatment. It is recommended to bring the child to a regular hospital for detailed examinations, including a brain CT scan and an EEG, under the guidance of a doctor. Based on the examination results, follow the doctor’s instructions for targeted treatment. Patients should maintain good daily habits, eat a balanced diet, enhance nutrition, consume more fruits and vegetables, milk, eggs, and lean meat, and actively intake vitamins and proteins. Avoid overexertion and mental stress, ensuring adequate sleep time.
