Patient's question:
What are the precautions to be taken when treating epilepsy? My father has had epilepsy for many years, and I'm not sure how long exactly, but it has been two years now. Currently, he is taking traditional Chinese medicine for regulation, and he has also paid attention to his diet, but it hasn't improved.Doctor's answer:
As a family member of a person with epilepsy, you should supervise them to go to the hospital for regular check-ups and take medication on time to prevent them from neglecting or misusing the drugs. Neither the family members nor the patients should change the dosage or type of medication arbitrarily. It is important to adhere to long-term treatment until the epilepsy is completely controlled. The daily treatment for epilepsy patients primarily involves medication. Patients can take various oral medications and supplement them with vitamins, while also paying attention to regular routines and avoiding alcohol, hoping that epilepsy patients can recover as soon as possible! Thank you!
