If a child has epilepsy, how is it treated

Patient's question:

I only recently discovered that my child had sudden convulsions and even fainted. I quickly took them to the hospital for examination and found that they had epilepsy. This disease seems to be very difficult to treat.

Doctor's answer:

Epilepsy is a brain dysfunction syndrome characterized by recurrent seizures caused by abnormal discharges of brain neurons. The causes of epilepsy are complex and diverse, including genetic factors, brain diseases, systemic or general diseases, etc. Long-term oral antiepileptic drugs can control and reduce epilepsy. You have been treated at the hospital. You should take antiepileptic drugs long-term to reduce the frequency of seizures. Most of them can reduce or even stop seizures, just like normal children.
