Patient's question:
Once, the illness occurred mostly at night, with main symptoms being jaw clenching, crooked mouth andeyes, foaming at the mouth. I visited hospitals in the county and city, and most doctors diagnosed it as epilepsy.Doctor's answer:
Medications can effectively control epilepsy, but they require long-term use and do not address the underlying mechanism of epilepsy. They cannot completely prevent seizures from occurring. Additionally, long-term medication use does not rule out the risk of drug toxicity due to excessively high blood concentrations, leading to a series of adverse symptoms such as memory decline, slow reaction times, weakened immunity, and damage to the liver and other organs. Since medications do not target the underlying mechanism of epilepsy, they cannot completely prevent seizures. It is recommended that patients explore alternative treatment options.Due to the of epilepsy, its tendency to occur at any time, and its high recurrence rate, epilepsy requires specialized treatment. This includes not only professional doctors and equipment but also a dedicated diagnostic and treatment team and professional nursing care. This underscores the importance of seeking treatment at a specialized epilepsy hospital. It is advised to choose.
Note: Avoid overexertion and ensure adequate sleep. Adults should aim for at least 7–9 hours of sleep per day, while children should get 8–16 hours. Engage in moderate exercise, such as walking, jogging, badminton, tennis, or table tennis. Avoid swimming, mountain climbing, diving, and cycling to prevent injuries during seizures or accidents. Limit TV viewing and completely avoid playing electronic games.
