Is epilepsy curable in children

Epilepsy in children is generally not curable. Because epilepsy is a chronic brain disease caused by abnormal discharges in the ganglia, it is a permanent and easily recurring disease that is difficult to cure and can only be controlled by medication. Parents should use a tongue depressor to hold the child’s tongue when he or she has a seizure to prevent tongue bite, and avoid falling down to avoid damage to the child’s brain, which may lead to impaired intelligence after a serious head injury. In addition, children with epilepsy need to pay attention to the following points in the treatment: 1. After the diagnosis of epilepsy should be treated in a timely manner, children with two seizures in a short period of time should start treatment with medication; 2. According to the type of seizures, choose the appropriate antiepileptic drugs. Traditional antiepileptic drugs include phenobarbital, phenytoin sodium, carbamazepine, etc.; new antiepileptic drugs include oxcarbazepine, levetiracetam, etc.; adjuvant antiepileptic drugs include adrenocorticotropic hormone, glucocorticoid, immunoglobulin, etc.; 3. Avoid adjusting the dose or stopping the medication on your own, and pay attention to regular follow-up.
