Patient's question:
My aunt has epilepsy. Whenever she seems a bit unwell, the family has to quickly support her, otherwise she will definitely fall hard to the ground. The problem is that she has been taking medication for two years, so why hasn't she gotten better? I'm starting to question how medication can actually treat epilepsy.Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy is a common neurological disease in clinical diagnosis, which can be caused by various different reasons and is relatively difficult to treat, prone to recurring. Taking antiepileptic drugs can treat epilepsy, helping to control and prevent its recurrence. However, if not properly cared for, epilepsy can still be triggered. While actively using medication, it is essential to enhance self-care, avoid sudden stomach issues, prevent mental and psychological stress, and pay attention to diet to ensure better treatment outcomes.
