What is the treatment for pediatric epilepsy?

Patient's question:

From a young age, I had epilepsy. Because of it, my friends rarely played with me, and I often stayed alone feeling bored. But my family also didn't let me run around freely.
I want help: How should pediatric epilepsy be treated?

Doctor's answer:

For the child's condition, it is caused by abnormal discharges in the brain nerves during childhood, leading to epilepsy attacks. In such cases, patient education from parents is required. If epilepsy attacks occur frequently, phenytoin needs to be taken to control the recurrence of the condition. With patient education, it is possible for the child to improve and not have further episodes in the future. Do not give up on the treatment and education of the child.
