Patient's question:
My brother has epilepsy, but he has been drinking beer recently. Will there be any interference if someone with epilepsy drinks beer?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, alcohol can indeed trigger epilepsy seizures. Therefore, it is recommended that the patient should try their best to avoid alcohol. At the same time, for current epilepsy conditions, long-term oral antiepileptic drugs such as phenytoin, sodium valproate, or carbamazepine are needed to control epilepsy recurrence. It is important to ensure sufficient deep sleep and avoid excessive mental stress or overexertion.
