Patient's question:
My son is 10 years old this year. Recently, he has been feeling unwell, and after a thorough examination at the hospital, he was diagnosed with epilepsy. There is no history of epilepsy in our family. How can a child be diagnosed with such a condition at such a young age? I would like to consult a doctor about whether children with epilepsy will improve as they grow older.Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy can be primary or secondary. If epilepsy is detected, systematic treatment should be carried out according to the situation. Only through antiepileptic drug treatment is it possible to be cured. If the disease is left untreated and allowed to spread, it will only worsen and will not improve on its own. Therefore, if you have epilepsy, it is essential to actively use antiepileptic drugs for treatment.
