What can families do when anti-seizure medicines are not enough?
Some children may continue to experience episodes even after following their prescribed treatment plan. In such cases, the healthcare team may explore additional approaches based on the childโs condition and individual needs.
A specialist-supervised ketogenic nutrition plan may be considered for selected patients. Since this approach requires careful meal planning, regular monitoring is important to support the childโs growth, digestion, nutrition, and overall well-being.
Repeated staring spells, unusual movements, brief loss of awareness, or sudden disorientation should not be overlooked. Timely evaluation can help families understand the most suitable care pathway.
Always speak with a paediatric neurologist and a qualified clinical dietitian before changing the childโs medicines or dietary routine.
