Patient's question:
I got sick last year. It was the day after playing basketball when I came back and sat down, and then my limbs became stiff, my eyes turned white, and I started foaming at the mouth. The symptoms of the attack were typical of what they usually call a major recurrence. I went to a local rural hospital, but it didn't help much.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the treatment of epilepsy is a chronic process. Family members should have confidence in the treatment. Epilepsy is not an incurable disease. With active treatment, reasonable medication, and a scientific treatment plan, visible effects after recovery can be achieved. We hope that epilepsy patients can actively face their condition and the recurrence and disturbances brought by epilepsy and its premonitory symptoms. For epilepsy, the most reliable prevention is to take antiepileptic drugs on time and in the prescribed dosage. Once diagnosed with epilepsy, it is important to control recurrence and prevent the recurrence of seizures. The earlier the treatment begins, the better. This is because the more frequent and prolonged the recurrences, the stronger the original epileptic focus becomes.Given that Western medicine antiepileptics have significant side effects and many patients find them difficult to tolerate, it is advisable to learn more about traditional Chinese medicine therapies. A combination of Western and Chinese medicine approaches can be adopted, or treatment can be based on the underlying pathogenesis. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes syndrome differentiation and treatment, which is quite rigorous. Different treatment methods are used for different types of epilepsy and individual constitutions. Generally, methods such as calming epilepsy, extinguishing wind, calming the liver and clearing fire, eliminating phlegm and opening the orifices, and promoting blood circulation to remove stasis are employed to treat the disease at its root.
