Patient's question:
The woman from my neighbor's house is said to have epilepsy. I want to know what the symptoms of epilepsy are like? Does it harm people? My child is only four years old and dislikes going to their house to play with the kids. Even when I tell them not to go, they don't want to. I'm a bit worried about this. Is this disease preventable?Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder in clinical diagnosis, most of which is inherited through three generations in families. It is caused by various factors such as brain damage or disturbances in cerebral decomposition metabolism. During recurrence, it primarily manifests as convulsions, foaming at the mouth, and loss of consciousness, but it does not pose a threat to others or cause harm to them. In addition to inheritance through three generations in families and congenital developmental abnormalities, epilepsy caused by other reasons can still be prevented. Avoid high fever and head trauma, medication or gas poisoning, and mental stimulation, and generally, the recurrence of epilepsy can be prevented.
