Patient's question:
My father has been suffering from this since I was a child. Sometimes, when he has a seizure, he experiences without consciousness, and he has to rely on biting things to endure it. After the seizure, he passes out. It makes me feel so heartbroken. Moreover, I don't know if I will face the same situation in the future, which makes me very panicked. I am concerned about how to assist effectively and quickly in treating epilepsy.Doctor's answer:
The majority of treatment still involves medication, with the principle being early medication, sufficient dosage, accurate medication, and prolonged duration. After an accurate diagnosis of epilepsy, medication should be started immediately to control the recurrence of symptoms. However, when taking medication, the dosage must be strictly controlled to avoid toxic reactions. Patients must adhere to long-term medication and should never abruptly stop taking it, as this could lead to repeated recurrence or worsening of symptoms.
