Patient's question:
My friend's child has epilepsy. The child is still young and is only in second grade. When the seizure occurs, the child convulses, and sometimes they stare blankly more often, but it's not very serious. It only recurs after a long time. Some people say it's nothing and that it will be fine when they grow older.Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy is curable, and many epilepsy patients hold a pessimistic attitude about whether they can be cured of the disease. In fact, the prognosis for the majority of epilepsy cases is relatively good. Of course, there are also a very small number of cases that are difficult to control, with an unsatisfactory prognosis. This condition requires long-term treatment, and medication should be tapered off gradually after a prolonged period of relief (at least 2 years). Currently, effective treatments include Keppra and Topamax.In addition to timely treatment for epilepsy, patients should maintain a positive mindset to face the disease. Only in this way can they boost their immune system and strengthen their will to combat the illness. At the same time, they should pay close attention to their dietary care, focusing on a balanced and light diet while avoiding cold foods, believing that this will help drive away epilepsy.
