Patient's question:
I am a single mother. Although my child doesn't have a father, I still try my best to give him love. My child and his father separated when he was very young due to disagreements. He has been living with me ever since. One day, he suddenly had a recurrence similar to epilepsy. I would like to ask you, can childhood absence epilepsy be cured?Doctor's answer:
Hello, there is currently no effective method to cure epilepsy. The main approach is to control epilepsy through oral medication, and it is best not to stop taking the medication arbitrarily during the course of treatment. Stopping medication can lead to a recurrence of epilepsy. Children should be encouraged to drink more water, pay attention to preventing colds, and avoid getting colds, as colds and fever can trigger epilepsy. It is advisable to avoid spicy and irritating foods as much as possible.
