How is epilepsy treated

Patient's question:

Tongue sticking out, staring eyes, hugging limbs together, crying, many times a day, Beijing Children's Hospital

Doctor's answer:

Currently, epilepsy is mainly controlled through medication, with Depakine and Oxcarbazepine being commonly used due to their high efficacy. Although surgical treatment can reduce the frequency of seizures, it does not always lead to a complete cure. It is important to take safety precautions in daily life, such as avoiding activities at high-risk locations or near water bodies alone. During a seizure, it is crucial to protect the tongue, and if the condition persists in a continuous state, immediate medical attention should be sought.
