Patient's question:
My older sister is an epilepsy patient, but in the countryside, it is called "yangjiaofeng." I rarely visit rural areas, and it is said that a recurrence can be very frightening—foaming at the mouth, convulsions all over the body. It is very scary and pitiful. Previously, traditional Chinese medicine was used for treatment.Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy is a form of seizure disorder. Currently, both domestically and internationally, the treatment of epilepsy primarily relies on medication. After receiving standardized antiepileptic drug treatment, approximately 70% of epilepsy patients can have their recurrence controlled. Among these, 50% to 60% of patients can achieve full recovery after 2 to 5 years of treatment, allowing them to train and live just like normal people. Therefore, appropriate and standardized antiepileptic drug treatment is key. Epilepsy patients can, while understanding professional treatment, also use dietary therapy as a complementary treatment in daily life. It is crucial to avoid extreme hunger or overeating in daily dietary habits, and never indulge in binge eating.
