Question
The child experienced symptoms at 5 months old and is now 1 year and 3 months. There have been a total of 5 epileptic seizures, with 3 occurring from October 2015 to February of this year, approximately once a month. After examination, the doctor said there is a pea-sized tumor in the hippocampus. I am asking whether treatment can be done now or if we need to wait until the child is older?
