Patient's question:
Girl baby, 8 years old, a child of a friend of mine. She said her child jumps around wildly and also hits people, and she can't control it. The whole person falls to the ground. Please ask: Can pediatric epilepsy be cured?Doctor's answer:
This condition cannot be effectively treated at the current stage of clinical diagnosis. However, it is crucial for epilepsy patients to be diagnosed promptly and receive early treatment. The earlier the treatment begins, the smaller the brain damage will be, the fewer the relapses, and the better the prognosis. It is recommended to avoid triggers as much as possible in daily life, such as mental stress, infectious diseases, and exposure to cold or heat. Lastly, during treatment, patients should maintain a balanced diet, follow a regular sleep schedule, actively engage in physical exercise, and regulate their physical and mental health. Keeping personal hygiene and avoiding bacterial infections due to weakened immunity are also important.
