Patient's question:
My brother's baby, when he was studying at school, often suddenly called my brother saying the baby suddenly had dizziness, a bit of twitching all over, bitten his tongue, and it was quite scary. Later, my brother rushed over and took him to the Municipal People's Hospital. After the doctor examined him, he said the baby had epilepsy. How do specialized hospitals for epilepsy treat epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
Hello, epilepsy is caused by abnormal discharges of brain neurons due to epileptic pathological changes in the brain or genetic factors combined with external triggering factors. Common causes that can trigger epilepsy include brain injury, traumatic brain injury, congenital diseases, vascular malformations, metabolic disorders, intracranial infections, febrile convulsions, etc.Advice: Hello, regardless of which hospital you go to, it is recommended to undergo a detailed examination in a neurology department to identify the cause of epilepsy. Once the cause is determined, targeted treatment should be administered under the guidance of a physician, and antiepileptic drugs should be taken. When choosing a treatment plan, patients should be cautious. Improper drug treatment or irregular medication can lead to frequent seizures, causing great physical and mental suffering for the patient. Avoid various factors that can trigger epilepsy, avoid working or engaging in activities in dangerous areas, and treat the disease with a positive attitude. Do not develop negative or pessimistic emotions due to epilepsy, but instead face reality and engage in work that you are capable of.
