Patient's question:
My uncle has had epilepsy for many years. When he was young, he suffered a severe head injury. During a recurrence, his limbs would twitch uncontrollably, he would foam at the mouth, his hands and feet would shake constantly, and he would scream as if being electrocuted. He has been to many hospitals, but the results have not been good. I don't know when he will get better?Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy is a chronic disease that requires a long time for treatment, and patience is needed. There are many methods for treating epilepsy, including surgery, medication, and physical therapy. The key to treating epilepsy is to find the correct and appropriate treatment that suits you, and to cooperate well with the doctor's treatment. Do not stop or reduce medication on your own. Epilepsy patients should strive for a diversified diet, eating nutrient-rich and easily digestible foods such as noodles, beans, lean meat, eggs, fish, and milk. In fact, having epilepsy is not terrible. Patients should believe that they can overcome the disease. As long as symptoms are detected in time and treated accordingly, the chances of controlling the condition and recovering are very high.
