Benign epilepsy in children is generally curable, although treatment duration tends to be relatively long. Children with benign epilepsy may experience symptoms such as seizures, numbness in the limbs, and muscle rigidity. Under a physician’s guidance, oral medications—such as clonazepam tablets—may be prescribed for treatment. However, note that clonazepam tablets are recommended only for infants aged one month or older. During treatment, children should avoid high-risk activities, such as swimming or rock climbing. Additionally, they should not be allowed to go outdoors unaccompanied, to prevent potential accidents.
