Patient's question:
Colleagues usually look very strong, but one day he collapsed on the ground, his body twitching uncontrollably. We then found out that he actually had epilepsy. He didn't take medication to control his epilepsy, didn't drink medicine. How is epilepsy treated? What are the emergency measures for an epilepsy recurrence?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of epilepsy includes drug therapy and surgical therapy. Common drug therapies start with low doses and use a single medication, gradually increasing the dosage until symptoms gradually subside. If the maximum therapeutic dose is reached and symptoms cannot be controlled, two antiepileptic drugs should be used simultaneously. If the condition still cannot be controlled, surgical treatment is recommended. During an epileptic seizure, the patient should be immediately laid flat to prevent tongue biting. It is also important to regulate physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
