Question
After a child was diagnosed with epilepsy following a high fever and prescribed medication by a doctor, they frequently still have sudden limb spasms. Is this normal?
Answer
The primary treatment for epilepsy is oral medication. After taking the medication, symptoms are not completely suppressed in the short term, and it takes a period of regular and effective medication to gradually control the condition. The time required for complete control can vary depending on the underlying cause and type of recurrence. Epilepsy is a curable disease, but it requires regular medication and the selection of appropriate drugs based on the type of recurrence. It is important to avoid triggers, maintain a regular schedule, improve poor lifestyle habits, and pay attention to digestion and nutrition intake.
