Epilepsy secondary to childhood encephalitis is generally not difficult to treat. Clinically, epilepsy caused by viral encephalitis is referred to as secondary epilepsy. Most viral encephalitis is treated and the epilepsy resolves, but a few severe cases of viral encephalitis leave secondary epilepsy. Most secondary epilepsies do not recur if they are treated routinely with oral antiepileptic drugs for two to three years. In this case, you can try to slowly reduce the antiepileptic medication or even stop it. This is recommended to last more than a year and a half. If the epilepsy does not recur after stopping the medication, a complete cure may also be considered. If secondary epilepsy recurs after stopping the medication, there is no cure for this condition, and secondary epilepsy can only be controlled by long-term use of regular antiepileptic drugs, such as sodium valproate and diazepam. The medication should be used under the guidance of the doctor, and if there is any abnormality, you should go to the hospital for examination in time.
