Patient's question:
For eight or nine months, I had a fever caused by a cold, which led to me clenching my fists and staring blankly with purplish skin and foaming at the mouth. I lasted for about two minutes before falling asleep. I went to the county hospital for treatment, received fluids for a few days, and then discharged.Doctor's answer:
Hello, epilepsy is a clinical syndrome characterized by recurrent abnormal discharges of brain neurons, leading to temporary dysfunction of brain function. Clinically, it manifests as varying degrees of dysfunction in motor, sensory, conscious, autonomic nervous, and mental functions, or a combination thereof. Medications commonly used to treat epilepsy include phenytoin, carbamazepine, phenobarbital, ethosuximide, and clonazepam.
