Patient's question:
My friend has had epilepsy for two months, and his mental state is still quite good. He is still in the early stages of the condition, and the is still controllable. I plan to take him for a thorough check-up in a couple of days to see how his body is doing. I would like to ask, what kind of thorough check-ups should be done for epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy patients are primarily diagnosed through careful examinations such as head CT and EEG to determine the presence of epilepsy. If medication is used to control the condition, it is recommended that liver and kidney function tests be conducted to identify the cause of potential liver and kidney damage. It is important to maintain a good mental state, avoid stimulating the patient, and ensure adequate rest and deep sleep to aid in the complete recovery from epilepsy.
