1. Establish confidence and determination to overcome the disease. Regular anti-epilepsy drug treatment can make about 60-70% of epilepsy patients’ seizures be relieved or completely controlled. However, because epilepsy is a chronic brain disorder, its treatment requires a longer period of time and the patience of patients and their families. 2, strictly according to the doctor’s orders regular, adequate amount of anti-epilepsy drugs. Eliminate the phenomenon of omission of medication, self-reduced or discontinued medication, because the above behavior may induce epilepsy seizures, so that the previous treatment is abandoned, and in severe cases, epilepsy can be sustained status epilepticus. It is true that medication should be taken as accurately as possible, but that does not mean that it has to be accurate to the hour or even to the minute. Of course, if you miss a dose completely, you should make up for it in time. 3, the majority of patients with a single anti-seizure disorder drug treatment can be obtained better efficacy, only to confirm the failure of single-drug treatment, can be added to the second kind of drugs. 4. The effectiveness of epilepsy drugs can only be assessed after at least 3-6 months of continuous treatment with a sufficient amount of epilepsy drugs. Frequent and blind change of drugs will easily make the patient develop drug resistance and become “difficult to treat epilepsy”. 5, all drugs have certain side effects, anti-epilepsy drugs are no exception. However, the type and incidence of side effects vary according to individual differences and varieties of drugs. Patients or their family members should read the instructions carefully and follow the doctor’s instructions to regularly review blood, urine and liver and kidney functions, etc.; if there are any drug side effects, especially the more serious ones, such as skin rashes, etc., they should return to the clinic in a timely manner. 6, in the complete control of seizures, usually need to continue to take anti-epilepsy drugs for 3-5 years, regular follow-up and review of the EEG is not abnormal, before the doctor’s guidance to gradually reduce the amount of until stopping the drug. Individual patients may need to take medication for life due to organic lesions and other reasons. Epileptic patients in the drug treatment period is to quit smoking and alcohol, appropriate aerobic exercise, have a good diet, do not stay up late, not too hungry and too full, to prevent colds. Can a child with epilepsy take other medications if he has a cold or fever during the medication period? Usually, children with epilepsy can take antibiotics, cough suppressants and phlegm expellers, antipyretics and traditional Chinese medicines according to the situation, and there are no contraindications. Cold medicines containing paracetamol, caffeine and cough medicines containing opioids should not be taken at the same time. It should be noted that some drugs (e.g. azithromycin) may have an effect on the concentration of AEDs, but this does not usually prevent their use. As far as possible, too many types of medication should not be used during a cold to avoid drug interactions, especially on the metabolism of AEDs. Antiepileptic drugs should never be discontinued because of a cold. In the case of other illnesses, other medications can usually only be added, and seizure medications should never be interrupted on their own. About the principle of handling the missed dose of antiepileptic drugs Patients taking antiepileptic drugs, please do not ever have the phenomenon of missed dose, in case of missed dose due to some reasons or momentary negligence, appropriate measures should be taken in time to remedy the situation, or else it will be easy to induce epileptic seizures, or even the emergence of epileptic status persistent. Remedial measures after a missed dose: 1. If you are sure that you have missed a dose and the time to the next dose is long, you should take the full dose as soon as possible; 2. If you are not sure whether you have missed a dose but only have suspicion, you can take half of the established dose immediately; 3. If you find that you have missed a dose when you are already close to the time to the next dose, you can take your next dose a little bit earlier than the next one, and take a refill dose in the middle of the next two doses, or take 2 doses of a refill dose in between. Or the amount of 2 doses (or 1.5 times the normal amount of each dose) can be taken at one time. For example: a patient should have taken 1 tablet at about 8 am and 1 tablet at about 8 pm, but found at 11 am that he did not take the medicine in the morning, and is very sure that he did, then he should take another tablet as soon as possible; if he could not remember whether he took the medicine in the morning at 11 am, he should immediately take 1/2 tablets; if he found that he did not take the medicine last night at 6 am the following morning, he should take the dose that he was supposed to take at 8 am earlier than the dose that he was supposed to take at 6 am the following day.
