How to treat and prevent epilepsy in children

Try to use only one drug; the dosage should be sufficient, and parents should not reduce the dosage by themselves; children with epilepsy take medicine "by year", and the effective concentration in blood should be ensured; drug withdrawal should be slow, and if the sick child gets better, doctors should be asked to decide whether to stop the drug. Be sure not to stop the drug suddenly, so as not to induce a serious status epilepticus (that is, smoking up endless).
