Patient's question:
When the child was 5 months old, symptoms appeared. Now the child is 1 year and 3 months old, and a total of 5 episodes of epilepsy symptoms have occurred. From October 2015 to February of this year, there have been 3 episodes, basically one per month. After examination, the doctor said there is a tumor the size of a bean in the hippocampus. How should it be treated now? Should we wait until the child is older for treatment, or can it be treated now?Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy is a chronic central nervous system disease but not an incurable one. With timely and scientific treatment, there is full hope for a complete cure. Epilepsy patients must actively cooperate with their doctors in treatment. Currently, there are several methods for treating epilepsy. Only by repairing and regenerating the abnormal brain nerves and brain cells, restoring their normal tissue function, and eliminating abnormal, can the goal of curing epilepsy be achieved.
