Patient's question:
Epilepsy starts to have recurrent attacks, medication is not particularly effective. It always starts after a period of no attacks, and then it begins to attack again. Each attack becomes more severe, and suddenly you have convulsions and fall down. I want to know how epilepsy can be controlled?Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy is generally diagnosed by combining medical history, clinical symptoms, and electroencephalogram (EEG). It is primarily caused by abnormal discharges of brain neurons, leading to limb convulsions. Symptoms such as loss of consciousness and drooling of saliva may also occur. It is usually treated with oral antiepileptic drugs. Pay attention to controlling the epilepsy to maintain stability. In this case, it is recommended that you take him to a formal Grade III-A hospital's neurology department or epilepsy specialty for an in-person consultation. The treatment for epilepsy often takes a long time, so patients must be persistent during treatment. They should face the treatment with a determined and optimistic spirit, refusing to give up until the goal is achieved.
