Question
Can childhood epilepsy be cured permanently?
Answer
The treatment goal for childhood epilepsy is typically to control symptoms rather than achieve a complete cure. Through medication, most children can effectively manage their condition and reduce seizures. However, medication cannot completely eliminate the possibility of seizures, and symptoms may recur after discontinuation of medication. Additionally, some children may require lifelong medication to control the condition. Therefore, while a complete cure cannot be guaranteed, most children can lead healthy and normal lives with appropriate treatment and ongoing medical monitoring.
