Question
Can children with epilepsy live normally? How should epilepsy be managed in children?
Answer
Epilepsy treatment should focus on the mechanism of seizures, including medication and surgical treatments, to achieve the goal of controlling seizure episodes. Medication can control seizures by reducing the excitability of the brain, but long-term medication use and side effects are common issues. Not all epilepsy patients are suitable for surgical treatment, as seizures are caused by abnormal discharge of neurons. Only by repairing damaged neuron cells can seizures be prevented.
