Question
A parent inquired about their 5-year-old daughter, who suddenly experienced two-sided eye deviation during an epileptic seizure in October. The seizures have continued, and the medications she has taken include oxcarbazepine and clobazam, but the results have been unsatisfactory, with up to seven or eight seizures per day now.
Answer
In the past, the diagnosis and treatment methods for epilepsy were limited and the treatment outcomes were not ideal, leading many to mistakenly believe that epilepsy was incurable. However, a wealth of data shows that timely and appropriate treatment can effectively control the majority of epilepsy patients, even achieving complete recovery. Therefore, epilepsy is not an incurable disease. Currently, there are various medical institutions specializing in epilepsy treatment, and it is recommended to seek diagnosis and treatment from professional hospitals.
