Patient's question:
At home, I am the only son, and the family has always been very caring towards him. However, for some reason, when he was twelve, he suddenly had a brief episode of fainting, which scared the family terribly. After that, he began to show abnormal behavior, sometimes suddenly having seizures, and in severe cases, he would also faint. Once he recovered from the illness, it seemed to recur more frequently. Now that winter has arrived, I am really afraid that he might catch a cold frequently, which could then interfere with the recurrence of his condition.Doctor's answer:
For patients with epilepsy, prevention work for colds must be done: enhance physical fitness through exercise, maintain a regular diet and daily routine, pay attention to preventing colds in daily life, and try to stay indoors as much as possible during cold weather. Drink more water regularly, and avoid public places as much as possible during flu season. Even in summer, remember to change clothes after sweating a lot. Patients face the harm of epilepsy directly, so we should actively adopt treatment measures and not avoid seeking medical attention. If epilepsy is not cured after long-term treatment, it is necessary to promptly switch treatment plans.
