Question
My child is only six months old and has been diagnosed with epilepsy. How should it be treated? There is no family history! The child has had 6 or 7 seizures a month, each lasting for tens of seconds!
Answer
If a child is diagnosed with epilepsy, it is common for them to have recurrent seizures, as epilepsy primarily results from abnormal discharge of neurons in the brain. It is recommended to use anti-epileptic medications under the guidance of a pediatrician and to be cautious about preventing colds. This condition is mainly treated by controlling seizures and generally cannot be cured completely.
