Patient's question:
My sister was diagnosed with epilepsy when she was ten years old. I heard from my mom that every time she has a seizure, it's really frightening, and she also twitches. Because the family's financial situation is not good, effective treatment has never been implemented. Now, when my sister is not having a seizure, she is fine, but when she does, she is completely unwell. After a thorough examination at the hospital, the doctor said that my sister has primary epilepsy.Doctor's answer:
Primary epilepsy can potentially be self-cured. Clinical diagnosis suggests that about one-third of epilepsy patients, due to fewer recurrence episodes and milder severity, can achieve good outcomes with timely treatment and symptomatic medication, making them less prone to relapse. Since 85% of patients can be completely cured with effective drug control and dedicated, stable treatment, they can remain free from recurrence in the long term.In addition to timely treatment for primary epilepsy, patients should maintain a positive mindset to face the disease. Only in this way can they receive timely and appropriate treatment. It is also essential to pay close attention to dietary care, focusing on light foods and avoiding cold or stimulating foods, believing that this will surely drive primary epilepsy away.
