Patient's question:
My mother started experiencing epilepsy symptoms again after falling from upstairs in a previous accident. It has been about 5 to 6 years so far. Recently, the epilepsy has become more frequent, which has made the family more determined to find a better treatment for it. For this reason, I would like to ask the doctor: if epilepsy has been present for 5 to 6 years, how can it be cured?Doctor's answer:
If epilepsy symptoms are triggered by trauma, the recovery process may take a longer time, which can result in a traumatic sequelae. In most cases, there are already clear injury foci in the brain. If the epilepsy symptoms become more frequent, it is advisable to undergo further head MRI to determine the severity of epilepsy and use long-term antiepileptic drug treatment. Regulate physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
