Patient's question:
My child has had epilepsy for ten days. During the episodes, they foam at the mouth, their eyes are wide open, and they make a bleating sound from their mouth. Their legs and feet become stiff, and they lose consciousness within two or three minutes. It's terrifying. What should we do?Doctor's answer:
There are many methods for treating epilepsy in clinical practice. The key is to determine whether the treatment principle aligns with the pathogenesis. Epilepsy is a chronic disease characterized by sudden, abnormal discharges of brain neurons, leading to transient dysfunction of the brain. The most common clinical symptoms of epilepsy include: sudden loss of consciousness, falling down, convulsions of the limbs, drooling or strange noises from the mouth, and returning to normal upon awakening, with recurrent epilepsy seizures being the main manifestation.
