Patient's question:
My child is a 6-year-old boy. He started taking medicine 100 days ago. When he was 11 months old, he went to Beijing Children's Hospital for several check-ups, where it was diagnosed that he had epilepsy and hydrocephalus. He has been taking medicine for nearly six years. How can my child's epilepsy be cured?Doctor's answer:
Hello, epilepsy is a disease caused by abnormal discharges of brain cells. This condition is related to congenital genetic factors to some extent, and of course, some brain injuries can also directly trigger epilepsy.Suggestions for treatment: If you want to completely cure epilepsy, it is very difficult and not very likely. Currently, medication is primarily used to control it. Drugs like carbamazepine and phenytoin are common antiepileptic medications.
