Question
The family of a pediatric epilepsy patient is asking for recommendations on which hospitals in China have the best treatment outcomes. The child’s seizure frequency has increased from a few seconds to two to three minutes, with eyes rolling up and body tremors. The frequency exceeded 3 times the previous night, and the baby was crying. There is no family history of epilepsy. The county hospital suspected a calcium deficiency and treatment, but an electroencephalogram at the municipal hospital showed no abnormalities. Now, they suspect it is epilepsy and are seeking recommendations for hospitals in China with effective pediatric epilepsy treatments.
Answer
Approximately 70% of epilepsy patients who undergo regular antiepileptic drug treatment can have their seizures suppressed. Among them, 50% to 60% can be cured after 2 to 5 years of treatment, allowing patients to live and train like normal people. It is necessary to have regular follow-ups and receive regular treatment at a top-tier hospital.
