Patient's question:
There is a child in the village who has been having fever and convulsions since he was 4 years old. It happens about twice a year, right? I want to know how to prevent it. I'm afraid he might have other diseases if he has a seizure.No, I just want to know if he has epilepsy. If not, how can it be prevented?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, the causes of epilepsy are diverse, mainly including genetics, electric shock, fright, brain trauma, brain surgery, carbon monoxide poisoning, stroke, and so on. These pathogenic factors lead to brain cell damage, resulting in abnormal discharges of brain cells and abnormal brain function, which manifest as epilepsy. Epilepsy is a chronic and recurrent disease, and patients should build confidence, receive standardized treatment, and take medication regularly, as there is full hope for a cure. Currently, the main treatment for epilepsy is medication. There is no single best medication or treatment method; only the treatment approach that is most suitable for the patient matters. Therefore, it is recommended to seek treatment at a professional epilepsy hospital or consult an epilepsy specialist with professional expertise.
