Question

A 6-year-old boy has been suffering from the disease and medication has not had much effect. He still feels uncomfortable. Can pediatric epilepsy be alleviated to some extent?

Answer

Congenital epilepsy cannot usually be alleviated and can only be controlled with medication. A very small number of patients have seen their condition improve after surgery, but the risk is high. It is recommended that the primary treatment for epilepsy is medication, with oral antiepileptic drugs being effective in suppressing the disease to prevent seizures. There are many treatment methods for the disease, but since each patient’s condition is different, the medical treatment methods also vary. Therefore, it is necessary for patients to seek professional medical testing as soon as possible to receive targeted treatment.
