Patient's question:
The child went to the hospital for a check-up and was told they have epilepsy. Can pediatric epilepsy be cured now?Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy is a chronic disease, so it is necessary to take medication regularly in the long term. Generally speaking, the earlier treatment for pediatric epilepsy begins, the better the outcome. Medication can suppress the spread of discharges from the epileptic focus in the brain. Typically, before considering discontinuing medication, there must be a continuous period of two to three years without any seizures.
