Patient's question:
My aunt has had epilepsy for many years. Because people in the countryside are generally poor, and the busy farming work can really be exhausting, she hasn't received proper treatment. My aunt just took some random medicine for her condition. I want to ask, how is epilepsy treated?Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy is caused by abnormal pulses in the brain. It is a disease that cannot be cured once and for all, so the use of antiepileptic drugs is necessary. Sedative and sleep-inducing drugs can be used to increase brain excitement and abnormal pulses, thereby controlling epilepsy attacks. During an epilepsy attack, it is necessary to prevent teeth from biting the tongue. Attention should be paid to preventing colds and other injuries, as epilepsy attacks may lead to loss of consciousness, fainting, and burns.
