Patient's question:
I've calculated that it's been more than half a month already. I can't walk properly, especially my left leg has been swollen. When I walk, my left leg feels like it has no sense of pain, like it's numb. I even feel that my behavior is strange, and I often keep repeating the same thing over and over. How can I be treated?Doctor's answer:
The causes of epilepsy are numerous, such as hereditary transmission across generations, trauma, cerebrovascular diseases, cranial brain injuries, brain tumors, and more, all of which can lead to it. Treatment should be tailored to the specific cause. It is recommended that you first undergo head CT and EEG examinations at a regular hospital to determine the appropriate treatment based on the results. If oral antiepileptic drugs can be used for treatment, hospitalization may not be necessary. During daily life, it is important to get adequate rest, maintain emotional stability, avoid overwork and excessive stress, ensure sufficient deep sleep, and strictly avoid smoking and alcohol. Additionally, avoid consuming mutton, dog meat, coffee, strong tea, cola, and spicy or irritating foods.
