Patient's question:
Doctor. My cousin suffers from epilepsy, which is a hereditary disease. Yesterday, my friend and I went shopping on the street, and suddenly I fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth. My friend was scared stiff. Doctor, am I having a seizure?Doctor's answer:
Your current symptoms are primarily considered to be one manifestation of petit mal epilepsy. If this condition recurs, it is recommended to further implement an electroencephalogram (EEG) examination to further clarify the diagnosis. In terms of treatment, it mainly involves the use of many antiepileptic drugs for regulation. At the same time, acupuncture therapy can also be used in conjunction. It is essential to pay attention to ensuring adequate rest to prevent the recurrence of the condition.
