Question

My mother has recently been unable to cook and constantly complains of dizziness and headaches. I’m worried she might have infant epilepsy. Can this condition be cured?

Answer

Hello, according to current medical standards, infant epilepsy can be cured. For younger patients, medication can initially be used to control the condition, and as the child grows up, surgery may sometimes be considered. It is recommended that you take your child to a pediatric specialty hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible. For tonic-clonic seizures, symptomatic treatment can be adopted with medications such as phenobarbital or phenytoin. At the same time, it is important to avoid consuming irritating food, maintain adequate rest, and avoid overexertion and emotional excitement, as this will usually lead to gradual improvement in the condition.
