Question
My nephew has been experiencing frequent twitching of his hands and feet, and sometimes he vomits foam from his mouth. After being examined at the hospital, he was diagnosed with a pediatric epilepsy seizure. The treatment for several days has shown no significant effect, and I am asking if there are better treatment methods available.
Answer
Firstly, it is necessary to determine whether the current medication dosage is sufficient and if the child has a history of difficult labor, encephalitis, or other medical conditions. Additionally, compare the frequency and symptoms of the child’s seizures before and after taking oxcarbazepine. If the frequency of seizures increases, consider whether it is necessary to adjust the medication or dosage, and it is recommended to visit a regular hospital as soon as possible for more detailed diagnostic and treatment advice.
