Patient's question:
I have a best friend who is 25 years old this year. He loves drinking beer very much and almost drinks it every day. Later, he developed epilepsy. He thought it was caused by drinking beer, so he stopped drinking beer for a while. He is also quite overweight. Later, it still recurred... What should he do?Doctor's answer:
Abstaining from alcohol will never lead to a recurrence of epilepsy. Additionally, epilepsy patients cannot consume beer. They should quit smoking and avoid alcohol, and prevent mental stress in daily life, which will help in the recovery of the disease. The best way to treat epilepsy is based on traditional Chinese medicine treatment, as it addresses the root cause, gradually adjusts, repairs brain nerve cells, and achieves a complete cure. Additionally, a small amount of Western medicine should be used to control seizures, treating both the symptoms and the root cause. This approach not only yields good results but also has fewer side effects. Epilepsy is a serious condition, so patients should seek timely and symptomatic treatment. It is hoped that patients can follow their doctors' advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, dietary issues should be taken into consideration, avoiding spicy foods to prevent worsening the condition.
