Patient's question:
The entire family's finances rely on my husband alone. My husband works on a construction site to earn more money. While working on the construction site, he had a serious accident again. Although he survived, he was left with epilepsy. As an epilepsy patient, what kind of daily care should be provided?Doctor's answer:
Traumatic brain injury can cause brain damage, and after recovery, epilepsy, a type of post-traumatic sequela, is indeed a frustrating issue. In addition to actively using medication, daily care is extremely crucial. Rest should be ensured, overexertion should be avoided, and staying up late should be avoided to guarantee sufficient deep sleep. The patient should always maintain a cheerful mood and an optimistic attitude, avoiding emotional excitement, stimulation, and urgent bowel movements. A light diet, quitting smoking and drinking, and preventing falls are also important.
