Question
Lately, I don’t know why, my child keeps emitting sharp screams and sometimes says they have a severe headache. The headache has become more pronounced over this period. Later, after a check-up, it was said that they have epilepsy. What should one pay attention to when treating epilepsy in children?
Answer
The most suitable treatment method for the patient depends on a detailed understanding of the patient’s symptoms, EEG, and other auxiliary examination results, which will help to further clarify the type of epilepsy. Some cases can be controlled with medication and do not require surgery; while others are very suitable for surgery, and it is generally better for patients to undergo surgery as early as possible for the best outcome.
