Patient's question:
My child was diagnosed with epilepsy right after birth. I don't know if it can be cured, and if not, it will have a significant impact on the child's future.Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy, commonly known as "epilepsy, sheep wind," is a chronic disease where brain neurons suddenly discharge abnormally, leading to temporary dysfunction of the brain. The treatment of epilepsy is crucial to identify the patient's cause and condition, so that targeted treatment can be applied and a treatment plan can be determined. With the correct therapy and active treatment, there is still hope for improvement.Advice: The general methods for treating epilepsy include drug therapy, surgical treatment, and dietary treatment. Currently, drug therapy is the primary approach for treating epilepsy. After standardized anti-epileptic drug treatment, about 70% of patients can have their seizures controlled, and 50% to 60% of patients can be cured after 2 to 5 years of treatment. I hope this helps you, and wish you a speedy recovery!
