Question
My baby is now 1 year old and has recently been diagnosed with epilepsy. What should I do in daily life to care for a baby with epilepsy?
Answer
Dear reader, children with epilepsy often have limited understanding of their condition, making parents’ roles in caring for their epileptic children crucial. Epileptic patients should strictly follow the doctor’s instructions to adjust the type and dosage of medication. It is generally recommended to control seizures with the smallest amount of medication and lowest dose possible, and to continue taking medication for 2 to 4 years after symptoms are controlled. Remember not to stop or change medication on your own; always adhere to the doctor’s orders.
