Question
An 8-year-old boy has recently been experiencing poor mental state without a known cause. Can pediatric epilepsy be alleviated?
Answer
The treatment for epilepsy varies depending on the patient’s specific condition. If there are obvious brain lesions, surgery may be required; if there are no apparent lesions, medication is the primary treatment. Some patients need long-term medication, and a few may require lifelong medication. Since each patient’s cause and symptoms may differ, it is best to seek a systematic examination at a regular three-level A hospital as soon as possible. This will allow for targeted treatment and promote recovery.
