Patient's question:
Listen to what your mom said. Your aunt has epilepsy and had a recurrence a few days ago. Suddenly, she fell to the ground, frothing at the mouth, and kept twitching, biting her tongue until it bled. It looked very frightening. How is epilepsy treated? Can medication be used to control the condition?Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy patients can only control the spread of their condition by taking oral antiepileptic drugs. They must also maintain emotional stability at all times and avoid mental stimulation. They should not watch horror or thrilling movies, ensure sufficient deep sleep every day, rest more, and avoid staying up late. The diet should be light. Additionally, they should prepare a soft noodle wrapped in gauze and place it between the upper and lower teeth during an epilepsy attack to prevent tongue bites and prevent more severe epilepsy. Severe epilepsy can be treated through surgical methods.
