Can a child with epilepsy be treated?

In the epilepsy population, children account for a very large proportion, so many parents are worried about whether the child can be treated well after epilepsy, and what problems should be paid attention to in treatment. The following is to introduce the questions related to the treatment of epilepsy in children.

1. If an antiepileptic treatment has been confirmed to be ineffective, antiepileptics of different mechanisms should be added. Just as on the battlefield from a little assault can not be attacked for a long time to add an attack site, the chances of winning the two sides are greatly increased. Using two different mechanisms of anti-epilepsy is equivalent to controlling epilepsy from multiple angles and multiple parts of the disease.

2. Anti-epileptic plus non-epileptic to reduce adverse reactions. If there is a rare adverse reaction tremor during the treatment with sodium valproate, in the case of normal cardiac function of the patient, it can be added to relieve the symptoms of tremor and improve the quality of life of the patient.

3. Two substances with adverse reactions that can cancel each other out are usually selected, but this situation is rare. Most adverse reactions to anti-epileptic have an additive effect, which is understandable because of the antiepileptic effect. In the central nervous system, many have the same or similar mechanism of action, so their adverse reactions are similar, and when combined, they will aggravate the adverse reactions.

Warm reminder to patients, once the disease is found to be treated in time, otherwise it will delay the condition, lead to worsening of the condition, and there will be a serious risk to life. As long as the patient can actively cooperate with the doctor, carry out treatment, and maintain a good attitude, I believe that they will soon be able to embark on the road of healthy growth.
