Will babies with epilepsy get better when they grow up?

Patient's question:

When my sister was 5 or 6 years old, she had 2 or 3 episodes of tics per year. Her brain MRI was completely normal! But now, thinking back, it might have been pediatric epilepsy. Because she hasn't had any tics for the past 3 or 4 years. I want to ask if epilepsy will improve when the child grows up? The kind of help I need: Self-healing epilepsy

Doctor's answer:

Hypothesis: However, the harm caused by recurrent epilepsy far exceeds this. During episodes, the cessation of breathing leads to hypoxia and edema in brain tissue, functional damage, and high-frequency discharges of brain neurons directly harm the brain. Over time, this leads to memory loss and reduced intelligence in patients. Recurrent episodes also have negative psychological effects such as fear and low self-esteem, severely interfering with patients' survival, training, and practice. These harms may not be immediately apparent but become more significant over the course of the disease.
From a broad perspective, epilepsy can be divided into two main types: primary and secondary.
