Patient's question:
Grandpa has always had epilepsy, and it has recently become severe. A friend suggested going to an epilepsy hospital for treatment, saying it's quite good. However, our family's financial situation is limited, and I don't know if it's a private or public hospital. Please advise on how I should proceed with treatment there, or if there are any other good hospitals you can recommend.Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy is divided into primary epilepsy and secondary epilepsy. The vast majority of primary epilepsy has a hereditary factor across generations and is generally not easy to fully relieve. Therefore, it mainly relies on oral medication to control the recurrence of the disease. Epilepsy is mainly caused by abnormal discharges of neurons, leading to dysfunction of brain nerves and a series of symptoms reappearing. Therefore, you can go to a secondary hospital to consult a neurology doctor for a follow-up examination, undergo a detailed check-up and diagnosis to determine the type of epilepsy you have, and then receive symptomatic drug treatment.
