Patient's question:
My daughter is over 20 years old this year. When she was around five or six, she suffered a head injury from a fall, which led to epilepsy. She has been to various hospitals for this condition, but the treatment results have not been particularly ideal. During an epileptic seizure, she experiences a sensation like being shocked with electricity. How should she be treated in such cases?Doctor's answer:
According to your daughter's condition, this epilepsy attack is caused by trauma, so it is called traumatic secondary epilepsy. For such epilepsy, besides eliminating the cause that leads to epilepsy, the most important and most commonly used method is to use medication to control the recurrence of epilepsy. Currently, commonly used antiepileptic drugs include phenytoin, sodium valproate, and clonazepam, among others. At the same time, it is also necessary to prevent a person from going to relatively dangerous places.
