Patient's question:
Post-infectious encephalitis, dementia. Two minutes have passed since the seizure, and recurrence within five to six minutes allows for movement. Recurrence occurs every 15-30 days. Taking phenytoin (one tablet) and carbamazepine (one tablet) three times a day.What kind of assistance is needed: Please ask the experts for advice on any effective methods! Thank you!
Doctor's answer:
Epileptic patients should pay special attention to ensuring sufficient deep sleep, avoid working overtime at night, and develop the habit of taking a nap on time. If possible, they can also take a short rest in the middle of the day.Medical advice: The sleeping posture of epilepsy patients should also be paid close attention to. It is recommended to develop the habit of sleeping on the back, preferably avoiding sleeping on the stomach. Patients who experience frequent nighttime seizures should be particularly cautious. The pillow used for napping should be firmer, such as a buckwheat hull pillow. It is best to avoid large, soft cotton pillows to prevent the face from pressing against the pillow and obstructing the airway during deep sleep.
