Patient's question:
My niece is in fourth grade this year. She has a two-year history of epilepsy. Recently, I personally witnessed her having a seizure. Her whole body fell to the ground, and her hands and feet twitched uncontrollably. She also spat out some white liquid, which was very frightening. Now, she is undergoing medication treatment.Doctor's answer:
Hello, common treatments for epilepsy include drug therapy and surgical treatment. Drugs can control epilepsy seizures by reducing brain excitability, but drug therapy generally requires long-term medication and has significant side effects. However, not all epilepsy patients are suitable for surgical treatment. Epilepsy seizures are caused by abnormal discharges of neurons, and only by repairing damaged neuron cells can epilepsy seizures be prevented. It is recommended to actively treat under the guidance of a doctor.
