Question
A five-year-old child has been diagnosed with epilepsy and has experienced four seizures, with varying intervals between them. The child is currently taking diazepam. The parents inquire whether the medication needs to be taken long-term, whether there is a possibility of self-repair, and if there are other better treatment options.
Answer
