Will epilepsy still recur after remission?

Patient's question:

I had a craniotomy in the hospital due to a car accident. Since the craniotomy, I have been experiencing epilepsy. I then underwent brain repair surgery at the hospital, which was very successful. Since this surgery, I have not had any more seizures. It has been over two years now, and I don't know if the condition will flare up again in the future?

Doctor's answer:

Hello! The possibility of this disease occurring is very low because it hasn't flared up for 2 years, but it's still important to be cautious and prevent head injuries during daily life. It's recommended not to drink alcohol. In addition to treating secondary epilepsy, it is advised that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process. It's important to rest properly and avoid spicy foods, while eating more fruits.
