What should be done if a child has epilepsy for 4 years?

Patient's question:

I would like to ask, a 9-year-old child has epilepsy for four years. It has not been treated yet! Which hospital can be professional? Which doctor can be responsible? Poor person!

Doctor's answer:

Epilepsy is a chronic disease. If not well-controlled, it can last for several years, or even decades. For this reason, many epilepsy patients hold a pessimistic attitude towards whether the disease can be cured. It must be pointed out that the prognosis for most epilepsy cases is relatively good. Of course, there are also a few cases of epilepsy that are difficult to control, with an unsatisfactory prognosis. Epilepsy patients should maintain an optimistic attitude, build confidence in overcoming the disease, and must persist in long-term treatment. Only after the (duration of symptom relief) is long enough should medication be discontinued.
