Does a Child Need Treatment if They Have Two Epileptic Attacks in a Year?

Question

Does a child need treatment if they have two epileptic attacks within a year?

Answer

1. If a child has two epileptic attacks within a year for the first time, it may only be considered a suspected case and further observation is needed to confirm.
2. Frequent seizures can have a significant impact on a child’s growth, so the sooner epilepsy in children is controlled, the more beneficial it is for their recovery. We know that epilepsy can cause significant harm to children, and if not treated promptly or with improper treatment methods, the condition may rapidly worsen, posing serious harm to the patient. Therefore, parents should pay more attention to their child’s condition and take them for treatment in a timely manner.
