How often do children with epilepsy have seizures?

Patient's question:

It might be due to excessive fright in the womb. The baby was carefully examined at birth and found to have epilepsy. However, from birth to now, almost two years old, the seizures have only occurred twice. I really want to know how often children with epilepsy have relapses to make some preparations for his future.

Doctor's answer:

The frequency of seizures in children with epilepsy is generally unpredictable. It may recur after a long interval or occur frequently. It is recommended to visit the neurology department of the hospital for follow-up. The doctor will further refine relevant examinations based on the child's symptoms, such as a detailed cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), to determine appropriate methods and medications for symptomatic treatment. In daily life, it is important to avoid stimulating the child to prevent seizures.
