Can i grow out of epilepsy when i have recently been diagnosed it?

Outgrow epilepsy?: No! whatever the cause, epilepsy will not go away and it always recurs. Only seizure due to high fever on kids younger than 5yo can go away when the kids grow beyond 5 years old, as the cause was only high fever.
