Can epilepsy caused by fever in children be cured?

Caused by fever in childrenepilepsyIt is generally difficult to treat, but it can be effectively controlled with early interventionepilepsyto reduce damage to the brain. Epilepsy caused by fever in children is common in febrile seizures, central nervous system infection, epilepsy syndrome, intracranial mass lesions and other diseases.

1. Febrile convulsions: Febrile convulsions are more common in children aged 6 months to 5 years, due to incomplete brain development, abnormal increase in brain excitability, convulsions may occur during fever, generally lasting 5-10 minutes, and can be relieved by itself after the body temperature returns to normal, at this time the epilepsy caused by fever is generally difficult to cure.If the patient has a high fever and body temperature, drugs such as ibuprofen can be used to reduce fever under the guidance of a doctor, and sedative drugs such as phenobarbital can be used in combination to help relieve epilepsy symptoms;

2. Central nervous system infection: such as encephalitis, meningitis, etc., may cause fever symptoms due to pathogen infection, and in severe cases, brain cells can be damaged, and abnormal discharge can lead to epilepsy, and patients are often accompanied by dizziness, vomiting, impaired consciousness, abnormal behavior and other symptoms. Epilepsy is usually difficult to treat at this time, but it can be treated with antiviral drugs such as ganciclovir and acyclovir, as well as neurotrophic drugs such as citicoline and acetyl glutamine to improve symptoms;

3、epilepsySyndrome: It is common in children with absence seizures, infantile spasms, LGS, etc., and can be induced if the patient's fever symptoms are severeepilepsyseizures, which can present with absence seizures and sudden loss of muscle tone. Epilepsy caused by this condition is also difficult to treat, but it can be treated with levetiracetam, topiramate, and oxcarbazepine antiepileptic drugs as prescribed;

4. Intracranial space-occupying lesions: such as brain tumors, intracranial hemorrhage, etc., intracranial pressure increases during fever, which may lead to epilepsy.If the tumor is removed with prompt surgical treatment, the prognosis is generally better, but if it is not treated promptly, it may lead to recurrent seizures and is more difficult to treat.

Epilepsy caused by fever in children may also be caused by infectious diseases, such as sepsis, etc., and it is necessary to actively treat the primary disease with anti-infection, which is usually difficult to cure.
