Patient's question:
My younger sister's child started attending kindergarten this year. Previously, there were no signs of anything abnormal, but last month, they suddenly fainted. We don't know what the reason was, because the weather at that time wasn't very hot. In the first few days of this month, the same thing happened again. Why is this happening?What kind of help is needed: Early symptoms of epilepsy in children?
Doctor's answer:
The treatment duration for epilepsy depends on its classification, as epilepsy is generally divided into primary and secondary epilepsy. Primary epilepsy is usually related to hereditary factors across generations, while secondary epilepsy is more often associated with brain damage. Although the treatment duration for secondary epilepsy is significantly longer than that for primary epilepsy, if the lesion is small and located in a non-functional area, it may be possible for the epilepsy to be cured within 1-2 years through other treatment methods that completely eliminate the lesion.
