Patient's question:
My child has been reported by the school teachers since last week that he tends to be distracted during class. Later, at home, I often observe his every move, and I found that he has poor coordination in his hands and feet, and sometimes he has the habit of rolling his eyes when he gets up in the morning.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the current methods for treating epilepsy are many, and it is crucial to ensure that the treatment principles align with the pathogenesis. The treatment methods include:Dietary therapy: Patients with epilepsy must pay close attention to their daily diet and avoid consuming foods that are (stimulating).
Medication therapy: This is the primary treatment method for epilepsy. The treatment principle is to start medication early, use sufficient dosage, take the medication accurately, and maintain long-term treatment. After an accurate diagnosis of epilepsy, medication should be started immediately to control the occurrence of symptoms. However, when taking medication, the dosage must be strictly controlled to avoid toxic reactions. Patients must adhere to long-term medication and must never suddenly stop taking it to prevent symptom recurrence or worsening of the condition.
Surgical therapy: The surgical approach involves removing the brain tissue in the patient's body that triggers epilepsy symptoms, excising the epileptic focus, and effectively preventing the occurrence of epilepsy.
