Patient's question:
Hello! When my daughter was 8 months old, she was diagnosed with epilepsy and has been taking sodium valproate ever since. She has never had a seizure, but I'm afraid to stop the medication. Her intelligence is poor. Can it be cured completely?Doctor's answer:
Medical Analysis: Epilepsy is a common neurological disease and is closely related to conditions such as brain trauma, brain tumors, and encephalitis. If it is not treated promptly, it can lead to frequent episodes.Recommendations: It is still recommended that you follow a standardized treatment plan under the guidance of a doctor and take medication on schedule. Epilepsy cannot be completely cured, but it can only be controlled or the progression of the condition can be delayed.
