Will benign epilepsy in children heal itself?

Benign epilepsy in children can cause the patient to show symptoms of epilepsy, such as foaming at the mouth and numbness of the limbs. It is recommended that mothers should take their babies to the hospital for treatment in time. For cases like benign childhood epilepsy, it cannot be cured automatically. Instead, it will occur at irregular intervals. We should pay attention to the drug treatment of benign childhood epilepsy and take the medicine on time.

When it comes to benign childhood epilepsy, many patients and parents are optimistic and always believe that benign childhood epilepsy can heal itself. Patients and parents must first understand what epilepsy is. Epilepsy is a chronic disease in which brain neurons suddenly discharge abnormally, leading to temporary brain dysfunction. Therefore, medication is still necessary in the treatment of childhood epilepsy. Patients should not ignore the precautions when taking medication. Medication is directly related to recovery.

Medication is an auxiliary therapy for epilepsy treatment, and not taking medication does not necessarily control epilepsy. Epilepsy is a chronic disease with great harmful effects. Patients and parents should not be complacent and think that they do not need to go to the hospital for treatment or take medicine after suffering from epilepsy. This will not only delay the child's best treatment time, but most importantly, make the health of child patients worse. Experts remind that when epilepsy is discovered, you should go to a professional hospital in time for scientific treatment. Do not believe in folk remedies or go to hospitals without professional treatment equipment, as this will only affect the healthy growth of your child. Therefore, childhood epilepsy cannot heal itself if it is not treated with medication in a timely manner.

Therefore, benign epilepsy in children can be cured. However, you must choose regular treatment methods when receiving treatment. When children with benign epilepsy take medication, they must pay attention to the fact that epilepsy medications must be taken for a long time, uninterruptedly, in a fixed amount, and at a fixed time. At the same time, they must pay attention to the fact that epilepsy medications cannot be changed frequently or at will. Epilepsy medications are generally taken for 2 to 3 years. Some patients may have to take them for 3 to 4 years or even longer until the condition is under control. The dosage can be gradually reduced, and the discontinuation time is generally required to be gradually reduced within half a year until the medication is completely discontinued.

Parents should strictly follow the doctor's instructions and take anti-epileptic drugs regularly and in sufficient amounts. Avoid epileptic seizures due to missed medications, unauthorized discontinuation of medications, or self-reduction of medications, so you must insist on taking medications every day, otherwise all your efforts will be wasted. In severe cases, a state of persistent epileptic seizures may occur.

For children with benign epilepsy, parents should create a good living environment and help their children develop good living habits. At the same time, they need to arrange their work and rest time reasonably, make sure their children have enough sleep time, and their diet should be light.

Although there are different types of epileptic seizures, the common feature is that intellectual development is not affected, some drug treatments can control the seizures, and the seizures can heal themselves after puberty. For this type of benign epilepsy, after being diagnosed by a doctor, parents do not have to take their children to seek medical treatment everywhere. As long as they take the regular medication as prescribed by the doctor, they can go to school normally. Absence epilepsy can be controlled through regular treatment.
