Question
How to Treat Pediatric Epilepsy for Better Effectiveness?
Answer
If a child has been diagnosed with epilepsy and has had multiple seizures, treatment should be initiated immediately to prevent potential seizure-related brain damage. If the child does not have any apparent organic brain disease, and the cause of the onset is not yet found, and if the first seizure is not severe, medication can be temporarily withheld. However, close observation is essential. If there are recurrent seizures, medication should be started. For children with benign epilepsy, observation is primarily recommended after the first seizure, with further treatment based on the progression of the condition.
