94 Does epilepsy affect a child s development?

Generally, it does not affect mental development, and there are no abnormal signs of the nervous system. In patients with extreme frequency of seizures, the thought process may be slowed down, affecting academics.

The most reliable prevention of epilepsy is to take antiepileptic medications on time and in the right amount. Once epilepsy is diagnosed, seizures should be controlled to prevent recurrence of seizures, and the sooner it is treated, the better. Because, the more seizures and the longer the duration, the enhancement of the original epileptic focus.

For seizures in children, it is necessary to consider both the effect and the acceptability of the child.

Between the Western medicine anti-epilepsy is relatively large, many patients are difficult to tolerate, you can learn more about some traditional Chinese medicine, take the combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine or according to the pathogenesis, the use of epilepsy extinguishing wind, calming the liver and diarrhea, expectorant and opening the body, blood circulation and blood stasis of the first method of the disease fundamentally.

Good luck with you**.

That's for sure, it affects the brain, intellectual development, and physical development have a certain impact, because the brain is abnormally discharged, and I don't go to the hospital.

This is not a one-size-fits-all question. In most cases, developmental delay and epilepsy are the result of congenital or acquired brain disorders, which are two parts of the disease that exist at the same time, and there is no causal relationship. Of course, if your child has frequent and severe seizures, his or her development may also be delayed.

This is because excessive abnormal electrical activity is constantly hindering normal brain function, and frequent seizures can cause hypoxia and damage to the brain. Therefore, it is particularly important to control the discharge and seizure at an early stage. A significant proportion of children experience improved development and intelligence after seizure remission. Seek adoption.

Epilepsy can not take Western medicine regularly, which will cause memory loss, brain dementia, and is not good for the liver and kidneys. It can only control the disease, not eradicate it. The effect of traditional Chinese medicine is not obvious.

You can consider minimally invasive surgery. Shandong Jining Red Cross Epilepsy Hospital uses high-tech computerized minimally invasive surgery combined with neurokine localization to repair **professional** epilepsy. One-time**, non-hospitalization, non-genetic, non**.

The causes of growth retardation in children are varied, some are natural processes, some are genetic, and some are diseases. In symptomatic epilepsy, the proportion of developmental delay is significantly higher because the latter is the result of congenital or acquired brain disorders.

If a child is significantly underdeveloped, it is a sign that his nervous system is extensively damaged. Of course, if your child's seizures are frequent and severe, his or her development may be delayed. This is because too much abnormal electrical activity is constantly hindering normal brain function and interfering with the brain's ability to process information from the outside world.

This condition can be reversed by controlling seizures.

Some children with epilepsy have physical retardation and mental retardation, which are caused by epilepsy, and if parents find that their children are behaving abnormally, they should take them to the hospital for examination**. The sooner you develop epilepsy, the better, and try to avoid the adverse effects of epilepsy on children's growth and development.

Children are in an important stage of growth and development, and two points should be paid attention to when choosing the first method: first, the epilepsy method that requires long-term medication should not be selected to avoid the impact of drugs on the liver and kidney and the child's intelligence; Second, do not choose the best method that requires surgery to avoid sequelae.

Yes, there will be an impact, especially for children, children are in the stage of physical and intellectual development, and the seizures of epilepsy will cause certain damage to the brain, which will cause mental retardation in the long run.

The mental retardation of children with epilepsy mainly depends on the degree of brain damage, and the important cause of mental retardation in children with epilepsy is its primary disease. Cognitive impairment in children with epilepsy is also related to the type of epilepsy, the frequency and duration of seizures, electroencephalography, and antiepileptic drugs. The types of epilepsy and the factors that affect the intelligence of children with epilepsy mainly include:

Secondary epilepsy, such as encephalitis, birth trauma, or congenital genetic disorders, can almost always lead to intellectual disability; In primary epilepsy, about 1 in 3 can develop intellectual disability. According to the literature, cognitive impairment in children with epilepsy is also related to the type of epilepsy, among which the percentage of small motor seizures with mental retardation is the highest, reaching; Absence micromotor seizures were the lowest, accounting for 10% of them. Surveys have shown that most of the severe cognitive impairment in children with epilepsy is caused by a variety of drugs, therefore, in epilepsy**, it is necessary to weigh the pros and cons of the selection of drug varieties, not only to achieve better results, but also to reduce the impact of drugs on children's intelligence as much as possible, and to advocate monotherapy**.

The occurrence of intellectual disability can be reduced as much as possible by controlling the relevant damaging factors, such as genetic counseling, prenatal and pregnancy health care, and reducing the occurrence of congenital genetic diseases. For children with epilepsy who have been diagnosed, it is important to control seizures in a short period of time by making early and reasonable regularity**, thereby greatly reducing the likelihood of mental retardation. Seizures, if they are transient and effectively controlled with medications, do not affect the child's intelligence.

However, once epilepsy is reversed, especially in a state of holdus, the brain is continuously deprived of oxygen, and the destruction of neurons increases, which may affect intelligence. Some children become stupid not because of the drug, but because of status epilepticus. Therefore, parents of pediatric epilepsy patients should understand some factors that can affect intellectual development, and try to avoid factors such as non-standard medication while epilepsy, so as to avoid the impact on the child's intelligence due to external factors.

Allergy drugs can be divided into the traditional generation and the new generation. The traditional generation is based on Pulmin, diphenhydramine, etc., and the new generation refers to Oxysmine and so on. The *** of anti-allergic drugs are: drowsiness, dizziness, and the new generation of anti-allergy drugs *** can be less.

Face up to the effects of allergy medications on intelligence.

Antihistamines are a class of drugs for allergic diseases. The first-generation antihistamines have definite efficacy and rapid oral onset, but they have inhibitory effects on the central nervous system such as sedation and drowsiness, have a short half-life, and need to be administered multiple times a day. Second-generation antihistamines, such as Claritin, have the characteristics of fast onset, strong anti-allergic effect, high efficacy, and do not affect the development of learning ability and potential intelligence, and the efficacy lasts for a long time, and the child has good compliance.

Studies have shown that compared with diphenhydramine, a sedative anti-allergy drug, Claritan syrup does not affect children's cognitive function and learning ability.

Do anti-epileptic drugs affect intelligence?

Tobiate has a relatively more effect, but not all of them have an effect. Disturbing only taking this medicine can control epilepsy relatively well, and if the dosage is relatively small, there will be no big shadow no Li Xuxiang. If you are afraid that the patient will have a greater impact after taking this medicine, you can do an IQ test before eating, and then do an IQ check after eating, conduct self-control, if there is no effect, you can rest assured to eat, if there is a problem, you can change the medicine, or take other measures.

Just now, Professor Wu said that any medicine has ***, and there is no medicine without ***.

Because anti-epileptic drugs are not needed by the human body, they are not highly selective after use. The drug will not choose the epileptic neuron discharge to work, and other neurons will not work, but it will act on the epileptic neurons, and also act on other normal neurons, which has a good effect on the epileptic neurons, but for normal neurons, there is ***, so every drug has ***.

If there is indeed a problem with this drug and it is necessary to change the drug, you can replace drugs such as libiton, oxcarbazepine, and levetiracetam, and the relative impact is smaller.

Childhood epilepsy is a relatively common disease, the harm caused by childhood epilepsy to children is beyond our ability, because children are still in a critical period of growth and development, many organs of the body have not yet developed perfectly, if they cannot be timely, it will affect the child's life, so parents should attach great importance to the harm of childhood epilepsy.

Whether epilepsy affects intelligence has always been a common concern for patients and their families. According to a large number of studies at home and abroad, not all epilepsy patients have lower intelligence than normal people, but some epilepsy patients have lower intelligence than normal people. There are many causes, mainly caused by brain damage and brain dysfunction caused by the primary disease, followed by genetic factors, brain damage caused by convulsions, psychosocial factors, family education, emotional factors and improper use of antiepileptic drugs.

Some seizure types, such as psychomotor epilepsy, infantile spasmodic epilepsy, and some seizures, affect more than half of mental development, with infantile spastic epilepsy having the most severe impact on intelligence and petit mal seizures having the least impact on mental development.

The main cause of epilepsy is caused by brain damage, and the development of human intelligence is controlled by the brain, so it can be understood that epilepsy will affect intelligence.

How epilepsy affects intelligence:

1. During seizures, the systemic metabolic rate increases greatly due to strong muscle contraction and increased body temperature.

2. During epileptic seizures, the brain metabolic rate increases greatly due to the abnormal electrical activity of brain neurons, the high phosphate compounds in brain tissue decrease, and the oxygen consumption increases.

3. Seizures will cause systemic hypoxia and decreased energy, resulting in increased systemic metabolism and increased oxygen consumption, and serious lack of energy and oxygen will lead to ischemic and hypoxic changes in nerve cells, and nerve cell necrosis in severe cases. If it takes a long time, it will cause a decline in brain intelligence.

From the above 3 principles, it can be seen that epilepsy will not affect intelligence. Another point to note is that if the baby is used to epilepsy, it is best to do timely ** and control, and do not delay the treatment until very late, which will affect the child's intellectual development.

It should be, epilepsy is an abnormal discharge of brain tissue, and it should be carried out in time. Epilepsy can affect motor function and may also affect mental development. Therefore, epilepsy should be timely to prevent the emergence of other types of diseases, which are life-threatening.
