Should a Child with Epilepsy Treated If It Occurs Twice a Year?

Question

A child has epilepsy but only has seizures 1 to 2 times a year. Should the child receive treatment?

Answer

1. If a child experiences two seizures in a year for the first time, it may only be considered a suspected case, and further observation is needed to determine the specific situation.
2. Frequent seizures in a child’s growth can cause significant harm, so early control and treatment of pediatric epilepsy is more beneficial for the child’s recovery.
