Patient's question:
10 months, now 12 months. Treatment situation: Currently being treated in a local hospital, taking medication. Help needed: How to treat and cure?Doctor's answer:
Due to convulsive seizures caused by temporary brain dysfunction, which are related to genetics, trauma, etc. The main treatment is primarily medication, such as oral phenobarbital, sodium phenytoin, etc. Avoid accidents during seizures. The treatment of epilepsy should be determined based on the patient's actual condition, being practical and tailored to individual needs. Since the causes and symptoms of the patient vary, the treatment methods also differ. It is recommended that you seek professional diagnosis at a regular hospital for effective treatment. The treatment of epilepsy can be divided into five aspects: controlling seizures, etiological treatment, surgical treatment, general hygiene, and prevention. Among these, the most important is controlling seizures, which is primarily achieved through medication at present. Clinically, antiepileptic drugs can be selected based on the type of epilepsy seizure. Once a drug and dosage that can completely control the seizures are found, it should be used continuously without interruption. Generally, after the seizures are fully controlled and without adverse reactions, the medication should be continued for 3 to 5 years before considering discontinuation.
