Patient's question:
During the summer vacation, to add pressure to the family, the 19-year-old nephew went to a construction site to do temporary work. For several consecutive days, he fainted, frothed at the mouth, and had convulsions. The hospital at the construction site said it could be possible epilepsy.Doctor's answer:
At 19, my nephew went to the construction site to work as a day laborer. For several consecutive days, he fainted, frothed at the mouth, and had convulsions. The hospital at the construction site said it might be epilepsy. Is that right? This condition could be a grand mal seizure, and he should seek treatment at a regular hospital's neurology department. Long-term oral antiepileptic medication will be needed for treatment. In fact, having epilepsy is not at all. The patient should believe that they can overcome the disease. As long as treatment is timely when the condition is detected early, the chances of stabilizing the condition and recovering are very high.
