The duration of seizures in pediatric epilepsy, which is usually variable, is related to the type of disease as well as the treatment.
1. Refractory epilepsy: It is possible to have dozens or even hundreds of seizures per day. For refractory epilepsy, in addition to medication to control the condition, surgical treatment and neuromodulation are usually needed to control seizures, reduce the number of seizures and improve brain function.
2. Benign epilepsy: Generally, seizures occur 1~2 times a year, or even once every few years. Generally, only a small dose of medication is needed to treat the condition, and for patients with smaller seizures, less than one seizure a year, no medication is needed, and seizures can be avoided through lifestyle and dietary adjustments, and may stop as the child grows up.
In addition, if pediatric epilepsy is found, parents are advised to actively treat their children to avoid affecting their lives and health.
