Inquiry content: Would like to know the treatment methods for pediatric epilepsy, whether medication is needed, or if it can improve on its own?
Answer
Pediatric epilepsy typically requires medication, and without treatment, it will not naturally improve. Treatment methods include surgical treatment: usually considered by doctors when medication is ineffective and the epilepsy focus is clear. Medication treatment: a common treatment method with significant effects, but long-term medication may lead to side effects, particularly damage to the liver and kidneys. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment is also an option and is currently a popular method for epilepsy treatment.
