Patient's question:
My nephew suffered from severe epilepsy at a young age. Sometimes when he had a seizure, we often didn't know what to do or how to control him. So, I want to understand the technology related to epilepsy so that at least when he has a seizure in the future, he won't get hurt. What are the common knowledge about epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
First, patients with epilepsy should actively use medication to control their condition while also taking proper care and preventive measures in daily life. For example, if a seizure occurs, the patient's head should be turned to one side to prevent dry heaving and breathing difficulties. At the same time, the patient's collar should be loosened to facilitate breathing. Generally, such convulsions will stop on their own, so no special action is needed during this time. If the convulsions persist and do not stop, seek medical attention promptly for a thorough examination and treatment.
