Patient's question:
Can the cost of epilepsy medication be covered? When someone in my family had a seizure, I didn't know what to do when it happened again, and I couldn't control it at all. They fell to the ground, and I couldn't lift them. Now, they are still taking medication on a schedule. How can epilepsy be treated? What should I do if it recurs?Doctor's answer:
When epilepsy suddenly recurs, prevent external injury and maintain clear airways. Gently stimulate the Ren Zhong acupoint to help the patient. If the patient is in a state of continuous epilepsy, seek medical treatment promptly. In daily life, take appropriate antiepileptic drugs regularly. Prevent excessive fatigue, overeating, lack of sleep, mental stress, infections, and feverish conditions. In terms of diet, avoid greasy, spicy, and irritating foods. Avoid alcohol, tea, cola, and coffee.
