Question
How High Is the Incidence of Pediatric Epilepsy?
Answer
The incidence of pediatric epilepsy is not easy to define as high or low; it can only be said that the occurrence of epilepsy in children is not strange. The specific cause of primary epilepsy is still unclear and may be related to factors such as hereditary transmission across generations, birth injuries, intrauterine distress, and respiratory difficulties at birth. Treatment usually involves regular use of antiepileptic drugs. Currently, we cannot determine whether a child’s epilepsy is primary or secondary, so it is recommended to bring the child to a neurology department for a follow-up examination. The doctor will determine the type of epilepsy after a detailed examination and provide specific guidance on the use of antiepileptic drugs.
