Question
Which antiepileptic drug has fewer side effects? My child suddenly faints and has seizures one or two times a month.
Answer
I’m sorry to hear about your child’s condition. The treatment of epilepsy requires the guidance of a professional doctor. Common antiepileptic drugs are typically sedatives. It’s important to ensure your child gets enough rest, maintains a cheerful mood, and avoids overexertion, stress, or colds, as these can trigger seizures. Under a doctor’s supervision, you can start using antiepileptic drugs for treatment. Please follow the doctor’s instructions and do not change the dosage of the medication on your own. Only consider increasing the dosage when the condition is stable and the frequency of seizures decreases. I hope my answer is helpful to you.
