The vast majority of children with epilepsy can be cured

  ”Of the 9 million people with epilepsy in China, more than half are children and adolescents.” The vast majority of epilepsy is not terrible, and can be completely cured as long as they can actively cooperate with doctors.  Nearly 80% of epilepsy patients start before the age of 18 At present, there are 400,000 new patients nationwide each year, 40% of whom are children under the age of 15, and 75%-80% start before the age of 18, with 0-1 years being the first peak.  Pediatric epilepsy is a common chronic neurological disorder of the pediatric period with a prevalence of 3%. -6%. Seizures are caused by abnormal discharges of brain cell populations resulting from multiple etiologies, causing sudden onset of transient brain dysfunction.  If we look deeper into the causes of epilepsy in children, there are three main causes: first, abnormalities in the mother during pregnancy or delivery, including intrauterine hypoxia and birth injury; second, congenital development or congenital metabolic abnormalities in the fetus; and third, cranial trauma or inflammation of the brain.  Since the nervous system of infants and young children is not yet fully developed, once a high fever occurs, the brain nerves can easily spread to the adjacent nervous system tissues, causing their excitement to spread, producing convulsions and even causing lifelong epilepsy. Thus, when a child has a high fever, parents must cool it down in time and treat it correctly.  The best treatment for childhood epilepsy, 70% can be controlled “once the onset, not stupid also paralyzed”, this is a long-standing people’s eyes epilepsy. However, Liang Jin explained that the majority of epilepsy itself is not terrible, if actively cooperate with doctors standardized treatment, 60%-70% of patients can be well controlled.  Especially in children’s epilepsy, timely and standardized treatment is extremely important. Children’s ability to recover and regenerate neurological functions is relatively strong and easy to treat. If they are not treated as children, they can easily become intractable epilepsy as adults. “A large number of patients seen at our center have started to develop epilepsy in childhood but did not receive standardized treatment, eventually becoming intractable refractory epilepsy.” For drug-refractory epilepsy, surgery can be considered in 20-30 percent of patients, especially for temporal lobe epilepsy, which has the highest success rate of all types of epilepsy, reaching more than 80 percent.  The clinical manifestations of epilepsy include altered or lost consciousness, twitching of the limbs, as well as specific behaviors such as “frothing” and “always dropping the spoon”. For infants and children, the onset of epilepsy can be easily overlooked, Liang Jin explained. The clinical manifestations of neonatal epilepsy are mostly stereotyped repetitive movements, often accompanied by abnormal eye movements. If an infant or toddler shows symptoms such as repetitive head nodding, body twitching, or demented laughter, it may be a seizure.  Since there are no signs before a seizure, and the symptoms and intervals between seizures in infants and children vary, parents must be vigilant and not miss the best time for treatment.  The first thing you need to do is to take your child’s medication on time and in the right amount, and not to stop it blindly. The child should be reviewed regularly at the hospital to ensure that the drug concentration is within the effective range to maintain drug efficacy.  Parents need to pay attention to the triggering factors of epilepsy, such as respiratory tract infection, fatigue, lack of sleep, emotional excitement, drug abuse or sudden discontinuation of medication, can trigger seizures. The actual fact is that you will not be able to get a good deal on your own. The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not able to get a good deal on a lot of things.  3, the child should not be alone, carry the epilepsy treatment card with you when you go out, in case of seizures, you can get timely assistance. Enhance the child’s awareness of self-protection and prohibit participation in dangerous activities, such as climbing, swimming, etc.  The child should be given high calorie, high vitamin, easy to digest liquid or semi-liquid food. Drink more warm water and forbid greasy, spicy and stimulating food or drinks.  5, should avoid strain, to ensure adequate sleep, sleep deprivation can trigger or aggravate seizures. It is best to watch TV for no more than half an hour a day. For patients with flash-induced seizures, playing video games should be prohibited.
