Patient's question:
I want to have a younger brother. He is in his twenties, around 25 years old. However, I feel that he had a recurrence of the symptom of changing the direction of speech before. This kind of "card" is not normal. I would like to understand how to prevent epilepsy from recurring again?Doctor's answer:
During a seizure, if the patient's family members or rescue personnel are nearby, they should immediately approach to help the patient, trying to make the patient fall slowly to avoid causing injuries. At the same time, before the patient's mouth closes, quickly roll a handkerchief or gauze into a tube and place it between the patient's upper and lower teeth to prevent the teeth from clenching tightly during tongue-biting. For those who fall to the ground face down, if the patient's teeth are already clenched, do not force them open, otherwise it may cause the patient's teeth to fall out. Rescue personnel can loosen the patient's collar and belt to allow the patient to breathe. To prevent the patient from spitting out saliva or vomit and inhaling it into the trachea, causing breathing difficulties, rescue personnel or family members should always stand by the patient's side and wipe away the patient's saliva at any time.
