Is hormone therapy effective for pediatric epilepsy?

Patient's question:

Can children with epilepsy be treated with hormones? Can it heal completely on its own? Will it affect children?

Doctor's answer:

Children with epilepsy cannot be treated with hormones. Currently, the treatment of epilepsy domestically and internationally is primarily based on medication. Medication is the essential treatment for epilepsy. 70% of epilepsy patients can be controlled through conventional antiepileptic drugs. Among them, 50% to 60% can achieve remission after 2 to 5 years of treatment. Proper and standardized antiepileptic drugs are key. Surgical treatment is recommended for patients who do not respond to medication. Please do not use surgery on children; instead, take them to a local regular hospital to consult a pediatrician for guidance on treatment.
