Patient's question:
When visiting my best friend's house, her daughter is now four and a half years old. Suddenly, her child started vomiting white foam and had convulsions. No matter how loud we called, she couldn't respond. So, we took her to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said it was epilepsy. How can epilepsy be cured on its own? Is there any good method?Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy, based on symptoms and medical history, is still easily diagnosed. The causes are mainly hereditary, external injuries, and so on. Currently, there is no effective treatment, and the only option is medication to suppress it. Regular follow-up in the neurology department is also required, as it does not necessarily self-heal.Therefore, treatment is quite challenging and requires continuous oral antiepileptic medication. Some patients may even need lifelong medication. This disease is generally caused by congenital brain development disorders.
