Patient's question:
The child of my uncle is now eight years old and has had epilepsy since he was young. He often has seizures, during which he does not recognize anyone and keeps twitching on the ground, spitting white bubbles.Doctor's answer:
The causes of epilepsy are varied, including focal brain lesions or diffuse brain abnormalities, systemic metabolic poisoning, and some cases with unknown origins. Epilepsy, also known as "" () in colloquial terms, is a chronic disease caused by sudden abnormal discharges of brain neurons, leading to temporary dysfunction of the brain. Depending on the patient's condition, targeted repair therapy can be used to repair damaged neurons, restore the function of brain neurons, balance abnormal discharges, and ultimately completely prevent epilepsy attacks. Oral medications are used to control clinical symptoms.
