Patient's question:
When my younger brother was young, he suffered from epilepsy as a sequela of a car accident. Over the years, he has taken some medications, but they haven't been very effective. As he has gotten older, the condition has actually worsened. We are very concerned about him, so we wanted to ask: What are the symptoms of a grand mal seizure, and how is it treated?Doctor's answer:
A grand mal seizure is a disease characterized by sudden loss of consciousness and convulsions, which severely affects physical health. It is important to understand grand mal seizures, conduct a thorough examination, and then provide targeted treatment. Generally, oral medication such as carbamazepine or phenytoin can be prescribed, and medication should be maintained. Once symptoms reappear, such as activity or head movement to one side, it is recommended to seek treatment at a formal medical institution to prevent missing the best time for treatment. Maintain a light diet.
