Patient's question:
In the past two years, we have taken him to the hospital to save him, but he cannot heal by himself. How do we treat elderly epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of epilepsy is primarily through medication to control symptoms and reduce the recurrence of epilepsy. Currently, there is no effective treatment that can improve it. The most common medications mainly suppress neural activity and increase the excretion of nerve cells. Elderly people should pay attention to prevention and try to avoid catching colds. A cold or fever can affect the nerves and trigger epilepsy. The combination of medications has the functions of invigorating the body, dispelling pathogens, calming the mind, promoting blood circulation, drying dampness and cooling blood, reviving the brain, strengthening the spleen and boosting qi, and replenishing essence and marrow.
