How to treat pediatric epilepsy for better efficacy

Patient's question:

I don't know how the child had a seizure, and I'm very anxious. Could you please ask how to treat pediatric epilepsy effectively?

Doctor's answer:

If the child has been diagnosed with pediatric epilepsy and has had multiple episodes, treatment should be started immediately to prevent convulsive brain injury. If the child does not have obvious organic brain disease and the cause cannot be found for the time being, and if the first episode is not severe, medication can be temporarily avoided, but close observation is necessary. If there are further recurrent episodes, medication should be started. For children with benign epilepsy, observation should still be the primary approach after the first episode, and subsequent management should be based on the progression of the condition.
