Does a child need treatment if they have two seizures a year?

Patient's question:

The child has epilepsy, but it only has 1 to 2 seizures per year. Is it necessary for the child to receive treatment in this case?

Doctor's answer:

1. If the child is experiencing epilepsy for the first time and has two episodes per year, it may only be considered a suspected type. The specific situation needs to be observed to determine.
2. For the healthy growth of the child, the harm of frequent epilepsy seizures is extremely significant. Therefore, the earlier pediatric epilepsy is controlled and treated, the more beneficial it is for the child's recovery.
