The preferred drug for children with epilepsy is the appropriate drug based on the type of seizure and its duration. Epilepsy is a neurological disorder. It occurs most often in children, which is why childhood epilepsy is also a common disorder in children. Children with epilepsy can have congenital or acquired brain damage resulting in the disease. However, the selection of appropriate antiepileptic medication is the most basic principle. In the case of generalized seizures, valproic acid is generally chosen, which is the first-line antiepileptic drug recommended by the International League Against Epilepsy. Focal seizures can be treated with oxcarbazepine or carbamazepine, both of which are also used as first-line drugs.
