Patient's question:
My husband's younger brother has had epilepsy for many years. In the past, the symptoms were not particularly obvious, so it was okay. However, in recent years, his condition has significantly improved, so he went to the hospital for treatment. The doctor prescribed a series of continuous treatment plans for him.Hello, what is the key to the treatment of status epilepticus?
Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy is a chronic and stubborn brain disease, and it is not realistic to cure it in one go. Whether in the acute phase or the remission phase, oral antiepileptic drugs such as lamotrigine, levetiracetam, topiramate, oxcarbazepine, etc., should not be stopped until it is completely cured. Pay attention to diet in daily life, and provide patients with foods rich in vitamin C and vitamin B6.
