Question
Will there be any effects if an epileptic child stops taking medication?
Answer
Epilepsy is a temporary dysfunction caused by abnormal discharge of brain nerve cells. The effects of stopping medication depend on the extent of the condition’s complete cure and external triggering factors. To prevent seizures, it is recommended to maintain a light diet, avoid stimulant drinks and foods, quit smoking and drinking, ensure adequate sleep, avoid prolonged use of electronic screens, and steer clear of high-risk activities such as swimming and working at heights, as well as avoid using antibiotics that may trigger seizures.
