Patient's question:
Suddenly this year, I was carefully diagnosed with epilepsy. I don't know what the best methods for treating epilepsy are. Can it be completely cured on its own? Since it has already been diagnosed, what should I pay attention to in my daily life? I hope you can explain it in detail.Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy treatment mainly includes treating the underlying cause and controlling symptoms. The causes of epilepsy can include trauma, intracranial lesions, or parasites. Actively treating the underlying cause is fundamental to controlling epilepsy. Additionally, there are many different types of antiepileptic drugs, and whichever one is used, it must be taken regularly. Never stop taking the medication or increase the dosage on your own. Tell your family that during an epilepsy seizure, pay attention to turning your head to one side to prevent aspiration, swallowing errors, tongue bites, or tongue posterior descent.
