Epilepsy treatment drugs for children

The main drugs used to treat epilepsy in children are carbamazepine, phenobarbital, oxcarbazepine, lorazepam, diazepam, sodium valproate, topiramate and other drugs. Specific different medications can be chosen for the child’s form of seizures such as petit mal seizures, grand mal seizures and persistent status epilepticus. It is important to keep breathing open during seizures to avoid biting the tongue, such as keeping the head tilted to one side to maintain an open airway, tongue depressor to pry open the baby’s mouth, and secondly, not to leave the baby alone to prevent falling and injuring himself during a seizure. Take long-term medication to control the progress of the disease. Reduce seizure recurrence. If hippocampal dysplasia is present, surgery is needed to treat the condition.
