Patient's question:
What are the ways to deal with epilepsy? My friend has been suffering from epilepsy for some time. They have previously been to the hospital for treatment, but the results were not very obvious, and sometimes it still recurs.Doctor's answer:
Every recurrence of epilepsy in a patient may cause significant harm to their body, and only through proper nursing training can the damage be minimized. During a recurrence, the patient should be placed in a supine position with their collar loosened, and their head turned to one side to facilitate the drainage of respiratory secretions and vomit, preventing them from flowing into the trachea and causing choking or breathing difficulties. When the patient is twitching, nothing should be placed in their mouth, and medication should not be forced, as this may hinder breathing. If a patient experiences a convulsive recurrence, do not pinch their philtrum; this will be of no benefit to them.
