Patient's question:
My wife has been suffering from epilepsy since the last accident. When she suddenly has a recurrence, she falls to the ground and convulses uncontrollably, spitting foam. At that time, I thought she was poisoned and took her to the hospital, where she was diagnosed with epilepsy. I want to know what I should do when she has a recurrence of epilepsy to help her.Doctor's answer:
During a seizure, quickly have the patient lie on their stomach, without using a pillow. Place a gauze-wrapped tongue depressor between the upper and lower teeth to prevent the patient from biting their tongue. After the convulsions stop, change the patient's clothes and bedding that have been soaked with sweat or urine, and provide them with a comfortable environment to rest quietly. Some patients may exhibit aggressive behaviors such as self-injury, harming others, or destroying objects during a dazed state. Parents should closely supervise them. In addition to active treatment, epilepsy patients should also pay attention to maintaining a positive mood in their daily lives, as a good mood is very helpful for the complete recovery from the disease. I hope the above information is helpful to you. Thank you!
