Question
What are some effective treatment methods for pediatric epilepsy?
Answer
Epilepsy, also known as convulsions, is a common neurological syndrome in childhood. The goal of treatment is to eliminate the cause, completely suppress recurrence, and minimize brain damage. The earlier treatment begins, the smaller the brain damage, and the better the prognosis. If there are intracranial space-occupying lesions, surgery should be performed as soon as possible. In addition, it is important to arrange the child’s living environment reasonably, ensure adequate rest, avoid excessive eating, prevent sleep deprivation and emotional excitement; pay attention to safety to prevent injuries; and take appropriate medication. Long-term medication users need to undergo regular hospital check-ups.
