Patient's question:
My mom said that my second aunt in the countryside might be suffering from epilepsy. Currently, she can't go out to do farm work and has been staying at home all the time, requiring someone to look after her, in case she has a sudden episode. However, it's not yet confirmed if it's epilepsy. Hello, what are the initial symptoms of epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the time of a seizure can suddenly reappear, possibly causing loss of consciousness, foaming at the mouth, and convulsions of the limbs and other reflective symptoms. On a daily basis, pay attention to emotional adjustments based on the patient's symptoms, eat less spicy and stimulating foods, and undergo periodic electroencephalogram (EEG) examinations for diagnosis. Based on the examination results, using antiepileptic drugs such as carbamazepine for a period of treatment can gradually improve.
