Question
Dear Baby, my friend’s 8-year-old daughter has epilepsy symptoms, such as twitching and attacks. Can it be treated?
Answer
Epilepsy cannot be completely cured at present, but early diagnosis and timely treatment are very important. The earlier treatment begins, the smaller the brain damage, the fewer the seizures, and the better the prognosis. It is recommended to avoid triggers in daily life, such as emotional stress, infection, catching a cold, and fever. During treatment, patients need to maintain a regular lifestyle, appropriate diet, actively participate in sports, regulate mental health, and keep personal hygiene to avoid bacterial infections due to decreased immunity.
