Question
How can the recovery of pediatric epilepsy be accelerated?
Answer
Pediatric epilepsy has various types of seizures, and appropriate medications should be chosen based on specific symptoms for treatment. For example, sodium valproate sustained-release tablets have a significant effect on absence seizures and also have certain therapeutic effects on myoclonic, tonic-clonic, atonic, or mixed seizures. In addition, topiramate (Topamax), as a new type of antiepileptic drug, is effective for both focal and generalized seizures. It also has better therapeutic effects for some refractory epilepsy conditions such as Lennox-Gastaut syndrome or infantile spasms.
