Patient's question:
What is pediatric epilepsy? Is this disease serious? Will it be difficult to treat? Can it interfere with the child's future growth and development?Doctor's answer:
First, pediatric epilepsy is the same as epilepsy, but the types of recurrence may be different. Children are more commonly affected by absence seizures. However, this condition must be distinguished from tics. It is recommended to take your child to the pediatric neurology department for a head MRI and EEG to confirm the diagnosis. If a diagnosis is made, antiepileptic medication treatment is required. Whether it is epilepsy seizures or antiepileptic drugs, they can both have a certain impact on the child's intelligence.
