Question
I’ve had epilepsy since I was a child, and because of it, my friends don’t often come to play with me, and I often have to spend time alone feeling bored. My family also doesn’t let me run around. I want to get help: How should pediatric epilepsy be treated?
Answer
In cases where a child’s epilepsy is caused by abnormal neural discharge in the brain during childhood, it is necessary for parents to be patient in their education. If there are frequent seizures, phenytoin may be required to control the recurrence of the condition. With patience in education, there is a possibility that the child will improve as they grow up and the seizures will not recur. Don’t give up on treating and educating your child.
