Patient's question:
My cousin had a car accident when she was young, which caused her to faint. She was hospitalized for treatment for several months. After discharge, it wasn't long before she started showing symptoms of epilepsy. At first, the seizures occurred frequently, but later, after taking medication, they improved somewhat. However, they never completely stopped, and she still occasionally has seizures now.Doctor's answer:
Since it is very difficult to heal epilepsy through medication, for the treatment of epilepsy, as long as medication can control the symptoms, it proves that the treatment is still effective. At the same time, in daily life, attention should be paid to preventing patients from being stimulated, and it is best to avoid drinking beer, except for foods that are more likely to cause excitement, such as coffee. If the situation permits, it is recommended to undergo surgical treatment.When patients face the challenges of epilepsy, we should actively take treatment measures and not avoid seeking medical attention. If epilepsy does not improve with treatment, it is important to promptly switch to an alternative treatment plan.
