Question
Which department should be visited for pediatric epilepsy symptoms?
Answer
It is recommended to register at the neurology department of a third-grade A-level hospital or a specialized epilepsy hospital for a detailed examination. For children, a Brain Electroencephalogram (EEG) examination may be sufficient. Symptoms of pediatric epilepsy include vomiting foam, eyes rolling up, and fever. In terms of medication, the choice of medication should be based on the specific characteristics of the epilepsy symptoms, and appropriate drugs and dosages should be selected according to the disease characteristics to reduce the child’s adherence to medication and avoid refusal to take medication. Epileptic children can try traditional Chinese medicine, as many traditional Chinese medicines have been proven to have significant antiepileptic effects, reflecting the concept of combining Chinese and Western medicine for dual-effect treatment of epilepsy.
