Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng
The treatment outcome of pediatric epilepsy depends on the rationality of the comprehensive treatment plan and the child's adherence to therapy. A professional physician should make an accurate diagnosis to determine the type and cause of epilepsy, based on which an individualized treatment plan can be developed. Medication is the most common treatment method; it is essential to take prescribed drugs regularly as directed and to have regular follow-up visits for dosage adjustments. For drug-resistant epilepsy, surgical treatment may be considered. In addition, both parents and children should actively cooperate with treatment, maintain healthy lifestyle habits, and avoid potential triggers. Psychological support and rehabilitation training are also important components in improving treatment outcomes. Through comprehensive treatment, appropriate medication, positive lifestyle choices, and psychological support, epileptic seizures can be effectively controlled.
