Patient's question:
Doctor, hello, my child has had epilepsy for more than 4 years. We have a basic understanding of it, and now we have been taking medication all along. There hasn't been an attack for half a year. I would like to know how we can prevent epilepsy in daily life?Doctor's answer:
For patients with a family history of epilepsy, it is best to undergo a detailed physical examination before conception. Even without a history of epilepsy, prenatal examinations should still be paid attention to. If an epileptic fetus is detected, induced abortion can be performed, which is also an effective method to prevent epilepsy.To prevent epilepsy triggered by traumatic brain injury, the key is to prevent brain trauma by paying attention to daily life safety and avoiding brain injuries caused by lifestyle, work, or accidental traffic accidents.
High fever seizures are another factor that may trigger epilepsy. For individuals with a recurrence risk of high fever seizures, effective preventive measures should be taken early to reduce brain damage caused by high fever seizures and lower the incidence of the condition.
