Patient's question:
Can children with epilepsy be cured? My child is 7 years old, and he was diagnosed with epilepsy yesterday. He is quite overweight and now in first grade. I want to know where in China there are doctors who can effectively treat epilepsy, as well as some precautions for epilepsy. My friend said there is a hospital that specializes in treating epilepsy. I would like to know the name and address of that hospital. Besides what the doctor said about epilepsy leading to low intelligence, if it does, can it be cured? Thank you! I hope everyone doesn't spread rumors; I need real answers. Thank you, everyone!What kind of help I need: Is my child suffering from epilepsy? Can children with epilepsy be cured?
Doctor's answer:
The causes of epilepsy are numerous. Early detection should lead to early treatment. Repeated episodes of the disease can interfere with a child's physical health and brain development. It is recommended that you take your child to a large, reputable hospital in your area for a thorough head CT and EEG examination. After identifying the cause, targeted treatment should be administered. Follow the doctor's advice and take antiepileptic medication on schedule. Pay attention to allowing your child to rest more, maintain emotional stability, avoid overwork and excessive fatigue, arrange a balanced diet, enhance nutrition, eat more vegetables and fruits, and actively absorb vitamins. Avoid foods that may trigger recurrence, such as mutton, dog meat, coffee, strong tea, cola, spicy, and irritating foods.
