What should be done if a child with epilepsy is nine years old?

Patient's question:

I'll just buy some at the pharmacy, but I don't deny that the child sometimes doesn't take the medicine, because my wife and I have to work.
Please ask if taking this medicine has any side effects, what precautions to take, and if there is a better treatment to completely cure it (because the doctor said to take the medicine for three years and then follow up).
Thank you!

Doctor's answer:

Hello, although epilepsy is a chronic brain dysfunction caused by abnormal discharges of brain neurons, it is not an incurable disease. With scientific and targeted treatment, most patients can still achieve clinical remission. Therefore, patients should not lose hope in treating epilepsy and should actively cooperate with their doctors. Currently, there are many medical institutions that treat epilepsy, but patients must choose professional and regular hospitals for treatment and should not seek treatment blindly.
