Drugs for epilepsy Can you make a child stupid Can epilepsy be cured

No, you have to take Western medicine**, and you will become stupid if you don't take medicine, because there will be apnea every time you have an attack, and apnea will lead to a lack of oxygen to brain cells, so that in the long run, it will lead to brain degeneration, and eventually mental symptoms and stupidity, epilepsy is not **, and you must take medication for a long time to control it.

Hello, I am glad to answer for you: 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 used 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.

For pediatric epilepsy, it is necessary to take into account the efficacy of the drug, but also to consider whether the child can tolerate the drug, epilepsy is a chronic process, the family should have confidence in the disease, epilepsy is not an incurable disease, as long as the positive treatment, as well as reasonable medication, choose a scientific program, are able to see the effect of the disease, I hope that the epilepsy patient will face the condition positively, and get rid of the epileptic seizures and aura as soon as possible. Good luck soon**!

1.The child has a history of febrile seizures!

Seizures begin at the age of age: the specific form of seizures is unknown, and the frequency of seizures: 1 seizure in 1-2 months.

3.Frequent seizures and epileptic discharges in the brain can affect the patient's IQ, and frequent seizures can be combined with psychiatric disorders: such as mental retardation, depression, anxiety, and psychiatric disorders;

4.At present, some of the western anti-epileptic drugs on the market have a history of hundreds of years, as long as the drug is used rationally, the seizures can be controlled and the smallest is the same, but epilepsy is a very complex disease, it must be specialized, online medical treatment is inaccurate, just need to understand it, the diagnosis of epilepsy is difficult, and it is a very long process, and patients must comply well;

5.At present, there are many anti-epileptic drugs in traditional Chinese medicine, and there are various ancient prescriptions: but none of them have done international multi-center randomized double-blind controlled trials like Western medicine, that is, there is no evidence-based medical basis for traditional Chinese medicine, and I hope that the medicine of the motherland will be in line with international standards as soon as possible!

The principle of epilepsy is: first of all, the drug **, the drug ** effect is poor or *** large, you can seek surgery**, surgery ** can have a particularly good effect on some refractory epilepsy, and many can be cured.

Every abnormal discharge from the brain causes damage to the brain. So be sure to take medication to control it. Drugs are generally metabolized by the kidneys and liver, so the operation is also kidney and liver, and the liver and kidney function need to be reviewed regularly.

Hurry up**, find a regular hospital to adjust the medicine. Of course, a diagnosis is also required.

Epilepsy is a group of clinical syndromes in which transient brain dysfunction occurs due to sudden abnormal electrical discharges of neurons in the brain. It is not yet possible**.

Stick to taking the medicine and don't stop it casually. It shouldn't be reversed.

Whether epilepsy can be cured is related to the following factors in addition to drug factors.

The first is the diseased**. If the epilepsy is caused by acute head trauma (car accident, fall, brain**, etc.), the epilepsy can also get better after the trauma**, but if the epilepsy is caused by brain tumor or cerebrovascular lesions, there are often still seizures after the tumor is removed. If it is caused by congenital brain development abnormality, the consequences of epilepsy are not good.

In addition, different types of epilepsy have different consequences, and in the case of absence petit mal seizures, the number of seizures gradually decreases with age, and by adolescence, about half of children have completely stopped having seizures. Epilepsy, another type of infantile spasms, has very bad consequences, most of which turn into other types of seizures, and often combined with mental retardation.

Seizures that are too frequent or long are not likely to have consequences.

In addition, the age of onset is also an important factor influencing the outcome. The younger the age, the worse the consequences. The onset begins in the neonatal period, often causing death, and even if it survives, it often has various neurological sequelae.

Experts say that the incidence of mental retardation in epilepsy patients is higher than that of normal people. Because epilepsy requires long-term medication and is often combined with mental retardation, many parents think that taking medicine makes their children stupid. In fact, the reasons for the decline of a child's intelligence are:

1.Many neurological disorders can cause both mental retardation and seizures. For example, congenital malformations of brain development, head injury, severe cerebral hemorrhage, etc., the mental retardation of such patients is not related to the use of antiepileptic drugs.

Mental retardation and epilepsy are also common in some psychiatric disorders (or the sequelae of severe traumatic brain injury, which are also not related to taking antiepileptic drugs).

2.Epilepsy with mental retardation is often associated with the type of seizure, such as infantile spasms, psychomotor epilepsy. In addition, the younger the age of onset and the greater the number of seizures, the higher the risk of impairing intelligence, regardless of the use of antiepileptic drugs.

3.As for the effects of antiepileptic drugs on intelligence, each drug varies. In addition, the more types of drugs, the greater the toxicity.

Some studies in China on the effect of phenobarbital on the memory function of children have shown that memory is affected during the drug, but it can be recovered after stopping the drug and reaching a moderate or above level.

Through the experts, I believe that there is a certain understanding of the problems that parents are worried about. A large number of studies have shown that after the seizures are controlled with medication**, the IQ and memory quotient of the children are improved even if the medication is continued. Conversely, if antiepileptic drugs are not used**, seizures are not controlled, and it is easy to cause post-convulsive brain damage, but it is easy to have mental retardation.

I'm sure you'll see some children suffering from epilepsy in your daily life. In fact, this is also a very common phenomenon. Some are born with epilepsy, but some are formed after birth.

This is mainly related to the individual's physical health and lifestyle habits, so many people will have this question, that is, how to ** children with epilepsy? Is it possible**? The answer to this question can actually be controlled by surgery or medication.

In general, it is difficult to ** this situation. Let's explain it in detail below.

At present, epilepsy includes medications, surgery, neuromodulation, etc. At present, the main focus on epilepsy at home and abroad is drugs. About 70% of patients with epilepsy can be controlled after regular anti-epileptic drugs**, of which 50% and 60% of patients can be cured after 2 to 5 years**, and patients can work and live like normal people.

Therefore, rational and formal antiepileptic drugs** are key.

If a child has epilepsy, it can be controlled with medication, and if you find epilepsy, you can do it.

Childhood epilepsy** has a high success rate, and some types tend to disappear spontaneously. Shanghai Quyang Epilepsy Research Center**Basic principles and guiding ideology of pediatric epilepsy:

1. Early stage and special disease specialty: Once the diagnosis is confirmed, drugs should be carried out as early as possible under the guidance of a specialist doctor to avoid incorrect diagnosis and classification of epilepsy, or inappropriate drug selection, non-standardization, delay or blind multi-medication.

2. Choose medication according to the type of seizure: when choosing anti-epileptic drugs**, choose appropriate anti-epileptic drugs according to the type of seizures, different anti-epileptic drugs have different anti-seizure mechanisms, because a certain anti-epileptic drug is only effective for one or several types of seizures.

3. Improve immunity and enhance one's ability to resist diseases.

Unreasonable medication, unauthorized change of medication, unauthorized addition or subtraction of drugs.

This situation is several times more dangerous than not taking medicine!

Once epilepsy is diagnosed, it must be used rationally and formally.

The pathological basis of epileptic seizures is the episodic abnormal discharge of nerve cells in the brain. Although the distribution of epilepsy foci varies, the causes of epilepsy are diverse, and the clinical manifestations of epilepsy are also very different, the excessive abnormality of a large number of nerve cells in the brain during a seizure, and the synchronous discharge is the same in all kinds of epilepsy.

Common epilepsy is found in the form of epilepsy, secondary epilepsy.

Primary epilepsy, also known as true or idiopathic epilepsy, refers to a type of epilepsy that is not caused by organic brain damage or metabolic disorders, and the cause of epilepsy is not clear.

Secondary epilepsy, also known as symptomatic epilepsy or acquired epilepsy, refers to epilepsy with a definite **, caused by metabolic disorders following a variety of organic brain injuries.

Severe and long-lasting febrile seizures can cause varying degrees of brain damage, including neuronal loss and gliosis, resulting in seizures, which are more common in children.

Medication must be reasonable! Must be regulated!

For grand mal seizures, phenytoin and phenobarbital may be preferred. See bright small seizures, transient small seizures use carbamazepine.

The drug must be taken three times a day, the dosage is mainly to control the disease, after the disease is completely controlled, it must be taken for a long time according to the dose, and it is not allowed to reduce or change the drug suddenly!! This is very dangerous.

3 times of medicine, must be taken once every 8 hours!! No more than 30 minutes before and after!!

After the disease is completely controlled, the drug period is a very long process, and the disease can be completely controlled for three years, and the drug reduction is also a very long process, which takes at least one and a half to more than two years to complete!

If it is indiscriminate or unreasonable, it is several times more dangerous to use drugs than not to use drugs.

Do not stop the drug abruptly without symptoms!! It can lead to serious consequences, even life-threatening!!

Epilepsy is a relatively latent disease, and it usually occurs at intervals of time, so you should pay more attention to it.

Epilepsy is caused by sudden, excessive repetitive electrical discharges of neurons with high excitability in the brain, resulting in sudden and temporary disturbances in brain function, mainly manifested as transient sensory disturbances, limb convulsions, loss of consciousness, behavioral disorders or autonomic nerve dysfunction. It is also possible that due to brain trauma, brain diseases and abnormal firing of brain neurons accessed by text messages, it can be regulated by drugs such as oxcarbazepindebacin**,Anti-epileptic drugs are to reduce the excitability of brain cells to control seizures, and long-term use of drugs can easily lead to hypoxia of brain cells, edema, memory loss, personality changes, slow response, and may also lead to mental decline.

There is no specific drug, and it needs to be taken orally for a long time.
