Child suffering from epilepsy 14 years of age what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See neurologist: There are many conditions that cause recurrent unprovoked seizures. Get a seizure diagnosis. Treat underlying causes and the seizures. A good history, family history, physical and neurological exam is important. An EEG and CT scan are likely going to be performed along with some blood tests. You need to learn first aid for seizures, and how to track progress with treatment.
