Patient's question:
My cousin always had epilepsy during his university years, and it was quite frequent. What should be done about frequent relapses of adult epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
First, it is necessary to identify the cause of epilepsy. If the epilepsy is caused by parasites, antiparasitic treatment should be administered. If it is caused by encephalitis, antiviral treatment is required. If the epilepsy is due to abnormal development of blood vessels in the brain or damage to brain nerves, regular medication should be taken. Do not stop taking the medication or switch to a different drug easily. If the symptoms do not improve with medication, surgical treatment may be recommended when necessary. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and good health!
