Patient's question:
When I was young, my epilepsy was cured, but it came back when I got older. Why is that? I am currently taking medication to suppress it, and I have never had a seizure. Even my EEG is the same as a normal person's. Is that considered good?Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy can still be triggered even after recovery, as there are many factors that can cause relapse, and each person's triggers are different. Therefore, patients who have experienced self-recovery must pay close attention to prevention efforts to avoid relapse, minimize previous influencing factors, and also enhance their physical fitness and reduce their vulnerability. Additionally, it is important to communicate more with family and society, and build confidence.Epilepsy is a serious condition, and patients are advised to seek timely and symptomatic treatment according to their doctor's recommendations. It is also important to pay attention to dietary issues, avoiding spicy foods to prevent worsening the condition.
The above information is hoped to help you. Thank you.
