Question

Parents inquire about the correct treatment method for their child who has suddenly developed epilepsy.

Answer

While secondary epilepsy may be complex, the cause is clear, and treatment should be targeted at the cause. First, it is essential to receive guidance from a professional doctor and undergo medication treatment. If medication is ineffective, consider treatments such as deep brain stimulation or minimally invasive surgery. Diet-wise, avoid overeating, high-calorie foods, as well as alcohol, tobacco, strong tea, and coffee.
