If your child has been diagnosed with a seizure disorder, three key steps can help you ensure their safety:
First, make sure your child takes their seizure medication regularly. A missed dose could lead to more seizures, according to the Epilepsy Foundation. “We can often get control of seizures with medication, but we have to tailor it specifically to the individual and you have to be religious about taking it,” says Richard Sultan, D.O., director of child neurology for in-patient services at Hovnanian Children’s Hospital at Jersey Shore University Medical Center.
