MS Treatment For Children

Currently, there is no cure for MS. However, many treatments exist to make the quality of life better for children with MS. Treatment for children and adults living with MS typically has three main goals: treat attacks and speed up the recovery from attacks, prevent future attacks and slow down the progression of the disease, and lastly, relieve and manage MS symptoms. Some people living with MS have such mild symptoms that they may not need any treatment. It is important to keep in mind that not all symptoms children experience are a result of MS. Children with MS also get sick with the same common illnesses that other children get, such as colds and flus, making it important to take extra care during flu season.
