Patient's question:
Doctor, I have a friend who has recently often been foaming at the mouth and sometimes twitching, and is in a state of confusion. We took him for a thorough examination, and the doctor said he has epilepsy. So, could you please tell me if there are any methods to treat epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
From the description of symptoms, this friend should be experiencing a grand mal seizure. During a recurrence, an EEG should show abnormal brain waves, while an examination during a non-recurrence period may be normal. For epilepsy, treatment should be decided under the guidance of a doctor and a course of antiepileptic medication should be administered. It is recommended to continue treatment for 3-5 years. During the treatment period, avoid stimulating factors, maintain a balance between work and rest, and do not overexert yourself.
