What should be done in case of status epilepticus?

Patient's question:

A friend used to have epilepsy, and after a period of self-healing, it slightly improved. However, after some time, it frequently returned in a recurring state, and the family was almost on the verge of collapse. Now, the family's financial expenses are almost exhausted. Doctor, what should be done if epilepsy status continues to occur again?

Doctor's answer:

A friend has had epilepsy symptoms in the past. After medication treatment, it gradually improved. However, after a period of time, there were still recurring issues. It is important to pay attention and should visit the neurology outpatient department for reexamination. Head MRI and EEG should be used to assess the extent of any additional symptoms. Some medication needs to be adjusted in quantity to help alleviate the symptoms. If the effect is not good, oral medication or increasing the types of medication is recommended.
