Childhood epilepsy is a neurological syndrome of complex etiology, recurrent, paroxysmal, and temporary brain dysfunction that is common in childhood. Treatment of childhood epilepsy generally takes at least 3-5 years, and the child is considered clinically cured if there are no seizures for any reason during this period. For children with epilepsy, medication is the first and most common method used. Although antiepileptic drugs cannot cure epilepsy, medication can prevent more than half of the seizures. Even if treatment is ongoing, if seizures persist, it is still necessary to try adding or changing to another antiepileptic drug. If the child does not respond to medication, surgery is an option. However, surgery is not indicated for all children with epilepsy and will not be effective if the epilepsy is the result of multiple lesions in different parts of the brain. As you can see, treatment of epilepsy is a long-term process. Before starting treatment, doctors will identify the type of epilepsy as well as the age and health status of the child to determine its treatment, and parents and doctors will also need to spend some time finding the best combination of medications, dosing regimen and dosage to control the epilepsy.
