My daughter is 8 years old and has epilepsy. What should I do?

Go to the hospital as soon as possible, because epilepsy is a brain disease, and frequent seizures will affect children's intelligence. The main treatment of epilepsy is as follows: 1. Drug treatment of epilepsy: Medicine is a traditional method to treat epilepsy, and it is also a common method to treat epilepsy. The principle of treatment is to take medicine early, in sufficient amount, accurately and for a long time. Take medicine immediately after the diagnosis of epilepsy and control the seizure as soon as possible. However, the dosage of drugs should be strictly controlled to avoid side effects. Patients should insist on taking drugs for a long time, and should not stop taking drugs suddenly or change other drugs at will to prevent recurrence or aggravation of the disease.

2, surgical treatment of epilepsy: the purpose of surgical treatment of epilepsy is to safely remove the brain tissue that causes seizures, that is, to remove the focus and control it from seizure. The premise of successful operation is the determination of epileptogenic focus before operation, which requires the cooperation of very professional evaluation team and neurosurgery team. At the same time, the risk of surgical epilepsy treatment is high, and it is easy to cause some other diseases, so we should choose the appropriate treatment according to our own situation.

3. Diet therapy. Dietary epilepsy treatment mainly refers to ketogenic diet therapy. The treatment of epilepsy is to choose a diet with high fat content, low protein content and low carbohydrate content, so that ketone bodies are produced in the body to simulate the body's response to hunger to treat epilepsy and other diseases. For epilepsy that is difficult to control with drugs, we can consider trying ketogenic diet therapy. Family members must strictly implement the diet plan for epilepsy treatment in a qualified epilepsy professional hospital. This method has certain risks and is not recommended to be adopted easily.
