Patient's question:
Patient is male, 22 years old. He fell from a tree in childhood and hit his head. The symptoms were foaming at the mouth, and everything else was fine.Doctor's answer:
This is a chronic disease caused by sudden abnormal impulses in brain neurons, leading to temporary dysfunction of the brain. Your condition is due to trauma, and in the treatment of epilepsy, antiepileptic drugs should be used consistently. Generally, drugs such as carbamazepine and sodium valproate are prescribed. It is generally not advisable to arbitrarily change, interrupt, or stop the use of Western medicine. Only after the epilepsy has been completely controlled for 2-3 years and an electroencephalogram (EEG) shows normal results can the dosage be gradually increased and the medication eventually discontinued. It is recommended to go to a regular hospital for a thorough examination and medication. Wishing you good health.In addition to treating epilepsy, it is advised that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
