Patient's question:
Doctor, a friend who is 30 years old just called me and said there is a problem that has been troubling her. She doesn't know what to do and wants to consult you. What are the symptoms of epilepsy? She especially needs your clarification and explanation. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
During a seizure, symptoms such as foaming at the mouth, jaw clenching, upward rolling of the eyes, limb twitching, and loss of consciousness may reappear. Seizures are caused by abnormal discharges of neurons in the brain. During a seizure, the main preventive measures are to avoid the risk of airway obstruction from vomit and to prevent biting the tongue. Patients with epilepsy should take oral medication on time. If the effect is not good, some patients may consider surgical treatment.
