Patient's question:
I have facial spasms, turn blue, foam at the mouth, and incontinence when I fall asleep. Does this count as epilepsy? It only happens occasionally, and only when I'm asleep.Doctor's answer:
The situation you mentioned resembles epilepsy. I suggest you have an electroencephalogram (EEG) or a dynamic EEG done. It is also recommended to have a head CT scan and take antiepileptic medication. Sodium valproate 0.2 grams, three times a day, and carbamazepine 0.2 grams, three times a day, are prescribed. It is important to rest well during the day.In addition to timely treatment for foaming at the mouth, friends with the condition should always maintain a positive attitude when facing the disease. Only in this way can the patient's immunity be boosted and their will to fight the disease strengthened. At the same time, it is essential to pay close attention to dietary care, ensuring a balanced nutrition and proper digestion of nutrients. It is believed that this will help drive away the foaming at the mouth.
