Patient's question:
Doctor, I noticed my child has been shaking randomly lately, sometimes even foaming at the mouth. The doctor said it's pediatric epilepsy. I wanted to ask you, doctor, can pediatric epilepsy be cured?Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy in children is commonly primary epilepsy. If there is a history of trauma or intracranial tumors, it is secondary epilepsy, which requires careful examination to rule out first, especially when tumors are present, surgical treatment may be necessary. The main treatment plan for primary epilepsy is through oral antiepileptic drugs, requiring long-term medication, and the dosage can only be gradually increased and eventually discontinued after the condition is controlled. Close and careful observation is needed to see if there is a recurrence of grand mal seizures or status epilepticus.
