Patient's question:
Epilepsy has attacks every month. How do you treat each recurrence?Doctor's answer:
You are describing epilepsy, which is primarily a brain function syndrome caused by abnormal electrical pulses in the brain. If epilepsy is not controlled, it is prone to frequent attacks, sometimes recurring many times in a month. Epilepsy is a chronic condition, and currently, it cannot be cured. In clinical diagnosis, medication is the main treatment. Commonly used drugs include carbamazepine, valproic acid, and phenytoin. Patients should take antiepileptic drugs under the guidance of a doctor for a long time in a regular manner to prevent various causes that may trigger seizures, such as fatigue, excessive drinking, binge eating, and infectious diseases.
