First of all, children suffering from epilepsy are generally brain hypoplasia, viscera function congenital deficiency, and so on, only one twitch last month, can continue to observe; or do long-term EEG, if you do find abnormal EEG discharge, you can consider the use of antiepileptic drugs.

Secondly, if not injured, epilepsy is generally a congenital factor: this understanding is similar to western medicine that primary epilepsy. It is called "fetal epilepsy" in traditional medical books, which means "fetal epilepsy". For example, brain hypoplasia, viscera function congenital deficiency, and so on, of course, including genetic factors.

Finally, epilepsy is related to heredity and other aspects. Seizures are caused by pathological changes of epilepsy in the brain or abnormal discharge of damaged neurons caused by genetic factors combined with external factors. Therefore, to treat epilepsy, targeted repair of damaged neurons should be carried out to restore the function of cells and balance abnormal discharge.
