Can children with epilepsy recover without treatment when they grow up?

Patient's question:

My friend had a baby a few weeks ago. Later, they noticed that as the baby grew older, they sometimes experienced. Many people said that the baby might develop epilepsy. We are very worried, but her parents don't want to seek treatment.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if it is confirmed to be epilepsy, it is important to start standardized anti-epileptic treatment promptly!! It is best to visit the neurology department of a children's hospital for timely treatment. Otherwise, if the child has frequent seizures, it may affect their intelligence. Some types of epilepsy can resolve on their own as the child grows older, while others may worsen over time. I hope my answer helps you. Wishing you good health.
