Patient's question:
I am a patient with epilepsy. I was seen at the hospital in April and prescribed sodium valproate. However, after taking it for a period of time, I had two more seizures. The doctor then asked me to take phenobarbital in addition to it.Doctor's answer:
For any illness, it must be treated by specialists in the relevant field. Symptomatic treatment is necessary to achieve a curative outcome. It is recommended that treatment be implemented at national epilepsy research institutions, such as an epilepsy research institute, as this ensures a basic guarantee of therapeutic effectiveness. Epilepsy attacks are caused by pathological changes in the brain or genetic factors passed down through generations, combined with external triggering factors, leading to damaged and abnormal impulses in brain neurons. Therefore, to treat epilepsy, targeted and precise repair of the damaged brain neurons must be carried out to completely restore their intrinsic functions, balance abnormal impulses, and thus completely prevent epilepsy attacks, achieving clinical diagnosis and self-healing.
