Patient's question:
Sister-in-law didn't know what happened yesterday while she was cooking. Suddenly, she fell to the ground, continuously spitting foam from her mouth, and her whole body kept contracting, with her fists twitching. After a few minutes, she seemed to pass out. Is this a case of epilepsy? What should we do?Doctor's answer:
After suffering from epilepsy, oral medications are needed to adjust the nerves and suppress abnormal brain impulses. Commonly prescribed drugs include sodium valproate, carbamazepine, phenytoin, etc. During treatment, it is also necessary to observe the patient regularly and carefully. Adjustments to the type and dosage of medication may be required. During treatment, avoid stimulating the patient and enhance nutrition by eating fresh foods. Maintain regular urination and defecation. Do not take medications containing hormones without authorization, and do not stop taking medication on your own.
