Patient's question:
At the age of twelve, I had an episode where red light appeared in my eyes, filling the orbits. Then my head tilted to the right, followed by convulsions. My eyes turned white, and I foamed at the mouth. I woke up after half an hour to an hour.Doctor's answer:
Hello, epilepsy is a clinical syndrome characterized by recurrent abnormal discharges of brain neurons, leading to temporary dysfunction of brain function. Clinically, it manifests as varying degrees of dysfunction in motor, sensory, consciousness, autonomic nervous system, and mental functions, or a combination of these. Common drugs used to treat epilepsy include phenytoin, carbamazepine, ethosuximide, phenobarbital, and clonazepam, among others.
