Patient's question:
Started getting sick in 2015 and has been on medication ever since. There have been symptoms such as foaming at the mouth and brief fainting. Recently, there has been drowsiness, unsteady standing, and a slight stutter.Doctor's answer:
Hello, epilepsy is mainly caused by abnormal discharges in the brain and is related to factors such as genetics and brain trauma. It requires regular antiepileptic drug treatment. Surgery does not cure it, and it is also important to avoid fatigue, alcohol consumption, and emotional excitement. Traditional Chinese medicine often adopts treatments such as calming epilepsy and extinguishing wind, calming the liver and draining fire, eliminating phlegm and opening orifices, and promoting blood circulation to remove blood stasis. The diet should be light yet nutritious, with more rice, noodles, vegetables, and fruits. Food should be diversified, including rice, noodles, fatty meat, lean meat, eggs, milk, fruits (fruit food), vegetables (vegetable food), fish, shrimp, etc.
