How is pediatric epilepsy treated?

The treatment of pediatric epilepsy typically employs a comprehensive therapeutic strategy. 1. Medication is the first-line treatment, involving the administration of antiepileptic drugs to control seizures. Doctors will select appropriate medications and adjust dosages according to each child's specific condition to achieve optimal therapeutic outcomes. 2. For some children, if medication is ineffective or there is a clear underlying cause, surgical treatment may be considered, such as resection of the epileptic focus. 3. Lifestyle modifications and psychological support are also very important. Parents should help their child maintain a regular sleep-wake schedule, avoid seizure triggers, and provide adequate care and support. A comprehensive treatment strategy can maximize seizure control and improve the child's quality of life.
