Patient's question:
Starting from January this year, intermittent convulsions occurred, with a crooked mouth and white foam spitting out, limbs stiffness, and episodes every three or five days. Local hospitals diagnosed it as epilepsy. Could doctors treat it?Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy is caused by specific discharges produced by brain neurons. There are many causes, such as genetics, trauma, infection, intracranial diseases, and so on; some cases also have unknown causes. Clinically, drugs such as phenytoin sodium and sodium valproate can be selected based on the condition for treatment. Pay attention to diet, avoid spicy foods, alcohol, coffee, etc.; avoid emotional excitement; pay attention to personal safety.
