Patient's question:
Doctor, I have a friend who has recently often been spitting foam and sometimes twitching, and is not in their right mind. I took them for a thorough examination, and the doctor said they have epilepsy. So, could you please tell me if there are any methods to treat epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
From the description of the symptoms, your friend should be experiencing a grand mal seizure. During a recurrence, an EEG should show abnormal brain waves, while a careful check during a non-recurrence period may be normal. For epilepsy, it is necessary to decide on an anti-epileptic drug under the guidance of a doctor for treatment. 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.
