Question
Can a 5-year-old child’s epilepsy be cured?
Answer
It is possible for a child’s epilepsy to spontaneously remit, but it usually requires medication to control seizures. If medication is ineffective, surgical treatment can be considered. The child’s lifestyle should be regular, including a consistent sleep schedule, avoiding overexertion, colds, or fevers, and steering clear of irritating drinks and foods. Additionally, activities like rock climbing or mountaineering should not be done alone to prevent dangerous situations during an epilepsy seizure.
