Patient's question:
My child was diagnosed with epilepsy right after birth, and I don't know if it can be cured. If it can't be, 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 characterized by sudden, abnormal discharges of brain neurons, leading to temporary dysfunction of the brain. The treatment of epilepsy is crucial to identify the patient's underlying cause and condition, so that targeted treatment can be administered and a treatment plan can be determined. With the adoption of 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. Through standardized antiepileptic drug treatment, approximately 70% of patients can have their seizures controlled, and among them, 50% to 60% can be cured after 2 to 5 years of treatment. I hope this helps, and wish you a speedy recovery!
