Patient's question:
Can children with epilepsy live a normal life? What should be done for children with epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of epilepsy should start from the mechanism of epilepsy attacks. Common treatment methods for epilepsy include drug therapy and surgical treatment. Drugs can control epilepsy attacks by reducing brain excitability, but drug treatment generally requires long-term medication, and the side effects are also relatively significant. Moreover, not all epilepsy patients are suitable for surgical treatment. Epilepsy attacks are caused by abnormal discharges of neurons, and only by repairing the damaged neuronal cells can epilepsy attacks be avoided.
