Patient's question:
My child is 5 years old. Recently, when he is unhappy, he likes to hit people, and he has poor concentration. After examination, it was found that he has intellectual disability. Can pediatric epilepsy and intellectual disability be treated?Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy can be self-healing. Epilepsy is not a lifelong chronic disease. According to surveys and understanding, about 70% of epilepsy patients can achieve control when they relapse after receiving standardized antiepileptic drug treatment. Among them, 50% to 60% of patients can be completely cured after 2 to 5 years of treatment, and they can train and live like normal people. Currently, with the expansion of modern technology and the continuous innovation of medical technology, the treatment methods for epilepsy have become more diverse and more targeted, and the cure rate for epilepsy patients will be significantly enhanced. The child is affected by intellectual disability, so the mother must take the child to see a doctor immediately for treatment to avoid various misunderstandings and to receive timely and symptomatic treatment.
